Bug #71622 [NEW]: Strings used in pass-as-reference cannot be used to invoke $callable()
From: mblarsen at gmail dot com
Operating system: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, Trusty Tahr
PHP version: 7.0.3
Package: Scripting Engine problem
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:Strings used in pass-as-reference cannot be used to invoke $callable()
Description:
------------
If you pass a string-variable to a method that accepts the variable by
reference, then the same variable in the calling context no longer
behaves like a normal string when it comes to invoking callables on
self:: (and like other contexts) but instead produces the error:
Function name must be a string, despite the variable is a valid string.
The test script below show different cases. Notably is the last case
where the value of the "damaged" variable is passed to a new variable to
achieve the desired result with success, thus the content is fine, but
the variable is "damaged".
Test script:
---------------
http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/5fa7c924f4e8514d6020b180decd96e5969d4014
In the linked sandbox you can see that it works in 5.6.x but not in
either of the released 7 versions: 7.0.3, 7.0.1, etc.
Expected result:
----------------
Test scripts shows the bug under difference circumstances.
