I didn't test it as I have no 5.2 right now at hand on this box but I think call_user_func messes with references in parameters to the called function. In 5.3 this is fixed by zend_parse_parameters. I saw some code (Serendipity's way of using Smarty) break with 5.3 since reference handling changed there, didn't investigate but 5.3 seemed to be correct on first sight. Not sure if that's enough of an pointer to help debugging that issue... johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
