From: maarten at ba dot be Operating system: all PHP version: 5.3.16 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Bug Bug description:func_get_args loses byref information
Description: ------------ i'm writing code that invokes "hooks" with byref parameters. but the generalized hook functions lose the byref information due to func_get_args being a copy (but not exact), thus call_user_func_array() (which needs to have references in it's array) can't work. see shortened example below: Test script: --------------- $foo = "foo"; $bar = "bar"; function func_a(&$a, $b) { $a = $b; }; function c() { $args = func_get_args(); call_user_func_array("func_a", $args); }; c(&$foo, $bar); var_dump($foo); Expected result: ---------------- i expected for $foo to have 'bar' Actual result: -------------- $foo is still 'foo', and a warning is generated -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63071&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63071&r=mysqlcfg
