note 91503 modified in function.call-user-func-array by scottmac

Those having the passing by reference issue can use this simple hack. I´m really not sure WHY this works, but it does, and it does not make use of EVAL or other questionable functions. <?php function executeHook($name, $type='hooks'){ $args = func_get_args(); array_shift($args); array_shift($args); //Rather stupid Hack for the call_user_func_array(); $Args = array(); foreach($args as $k => &$arg){ $Args[$k] = &$arg; } //End Hack $hooks = &$this->$type; if(!isset($hooks[$name])) return false; $hook = $hooks[$name]; call_user_func_array($hook, $Args); } ?> All it´s doing is copying the args ($args) into a new array ($Args) by reference, which i would think would be identical to the original array in every way (that matters). Note the code here is an example of usage. The actual hack is denoted by comments. If someone knows a better alternative, by all means, i would love to see it. --was-- Those having the passing by reference issue can use this simple hack.
