#44139 [NEW]: new ReflectionFunction fails to invoke native functions

From: andrea at 3site dot it Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: new ReflectionFunction fails to invoke native functions Description: ------------ For some reason, ReflectionFunction doesn't allow me to to invoke a basic function like, for example, array_unshift. Reproduce code: --------------- $arr = array(2, 3, 4); /** EXPECTED RESULT * array_unshift($arr, 1); * array_unshift($arr, 0); * var_dump($arr); // 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 */ $ref = new ReflectionFunction('array_unshift'); // WARNING: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated $ref->invoke(&$arr, 1); $ref->invokeArgs(array(&$arr, 0)); var_dump($arr); // correct and expected result // FATAL ERROR - Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Invocation of function array_unshift() failed' $ref->invoke($arr, 1); $ref->invokeArgs(array($arr, 0)); var_dump($arr); // nothing, because of fatal error ... exit; Expected result: ---------------- I would like to do what I'm trying to do without errors. I mean both fatal and warning. Actual result: -------------- An illogical problem for a simple operation. You have a "passed by reference" in your core but you choosed to disable send by reference in PHP ... and ReflectionFunction doesn't seem to be able to manage this kind of "situation". Please do not reply with something like: change your PHP configuration ... I would like to write not deprecated code.
