note 81174 added to language.oop5.reflection

I encountered a weird problem with ReflectionFunction, described in ticket 44139 of PHP Bugs. If for some reason you need to call with invoke, or invokeArgs, a function like array_unshift (that accepts internally the array by reference) you could use this code to avoid the generated warning or fatal error. <?php function unshift(){ $ref = new ReflectionFunction('array_unshift'); $arguments = func_get_args(); return $ref->invokeArgs(array_merge(array(&$this->arr), $arguments)); } ?> I don't know about performances (you can create an array manually too, starting from array(&$this->something) and adding arguments). However, it seems to work correctly without problems, at least until the send by reference will be usable with one single value ... ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 80.42.177.18 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.reflection.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81174 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81174/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81174/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81174/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81174/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81174/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81174/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81174 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81174 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
