Description:
------------
This is a regression in the PHP 5.3.1 release. When you call a __call() function with a reference parameter, it is silently converted to a value, by the time it reaches the second argument to __call().
This breaks MediaWiki and has no obvious workaround.
Reproduce code:
---------------
function foo( &$x ) {}
class Proxy {
function __call( $name, $args ) {
debug_zval_dump( $args );
call_user_func_array( 'foo', $args );
}
}
$arg = 1;
$args = array( &$arg );
$proxy = new Proxy;
call_user_func_array( array( &$proxy, 'bar' ), $args );
Expected result:
----------------
PHP 5.3.0 produces:
array(1) refcount(4){
[0]=>
&long(1) refcount(5)
}
Actual result:
--------------
array(1) refcount(4){
[0]=>
long(1) refcount(3)
}
Warning: Parameter 1 to foo() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/tstarling/src/php/stuff/test-reference-call.php on line 8

In fact, if you're using PHP 5.3.2 or later, it is pretty much impossible for it to be this bug. Most cases of "parameter expected to be a reference, value given" are due to bugs in the user code, not due to any problem with PHP. The message indicates a mismatch between the reference/value status of arguments to call_user_func_array() and the function declaration, as in: function foo( &$x ) {} $x = ''; call_user_func_array( 'foo', array( $x ) ); The correct way to call the function foo() in this case is: call_user_func_array( 'foo', array( &$x ) ); That is to say, the reference must be explicit in the array on the calling side.Still active bug. My PHP Version: PHP 5.4.14 (cli) (built: Apr 11 2013 19:13:00) Code to reproduce: <?php class TestForCall { public static function myFunc($test, &$reference_var) { var_dump($test); $reference_var = 'changed'; } } class Test { public function __call($name, $arguments) { return call_user_func_array( array( 'TestForCall', 'myFunc' ), $arguments ); } } (new Test()) ->notExistsFunction('test', $reference_var) ; var_dump($reference_var); Output: PHP Warning: Parameter 2 to TestForCall::myFunc() expected to be a reference, value given in /www/godudu.local/test.php on line 22 Warning: Parameter 2 to TestForCall::myFunc() expected to be a reference, value given in /www/godudu.local/test.php on line 22 NULLAnd a test case that shows the weirdness. Run against PHP 5.3.3 <?php function foo($a,&$b){ print $a . ' ' . $b . "\n"; } function fails(){ $args = func_get_args(); call_user_func_array('foo',$args); } function works(){ $args = func_get_args(); $newargs = array(); foreach (array_keys($args) as $k){ $newargs[$k] = &$args[$k]; } //Notice here that I do not pass in $newargs, but $args call_user_func_array('foo',$args); } works('Hello','World'); fails('Hello','World'); ?>
