Please see the documentation of call_user_func_array(). Unsurprisingly, it
takes its arguments as an array. So you would have:
call_user_func_array(array($this,$n), array(&$val))

«You can still pass by reference to __call using call_user_func_array().»
When I try to launch: call_user_func_array(array($this,$n), &$val);
I have:
Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in
When I try to launch: function __call($n, &$val)
I have:
Method smTest::__call() cannot take arguments by reference
What do you mean by «refs are available for call_user_func_array()»?

Dear catagraph, Sorry I can't catch you. What do you mean? Do you mean that we
can
work in maner I have submited before? But we can't.

Well. Code stoped working. It's nice to hear that call_user_func_array can
still
process with references. But without ability to throw link call-time into
__call
we will have only COPY inside of that. And that's a great fail for PHP's
functionality.
As I described our aproach to magical invocation of method we could work with
refs even without permision to have ref right in: __call($name, &data)
Now to skip this breaking of functionality in PHP54 we do pre-loading by tech:
$sm->need('function1');
function1();
and then we work by reference this is an ugly way. So magical loading became
impossible with working by reference. Sooo... maybe you will rise a question to
revert these changins took place in 53-54? What have motivated author to refuse
of refs in call-time? I hope that is not: «my granny don't like reference call-
time».

You can still pass by reference to __call using call_user_func_array().
