Bug #25526 call_user_func_array corrupts the passed array
Submitted: 2003-09-13 11:57 UTC Modified: 2003-09-14 20:14 UTC

Description:
------------
call_user_func_array seems to corrupt the array that is 
passed to the user function through it.

If an array of two strings are passed, and you try to 
print $strings[0] you get the first letter of the first 
element. If you try to print $strings[1] you get the 
2nd letter of the first element.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function test($testing){
	echo $testing[1];
}

$array = array('im testing', 'hello?');

call_user_func_array('test', $array);
echo "\n";
echo $array[1];
?>

Expected result:
----------------
hello?
hello?

Actual result:
--------------
m
hello?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Re-read the documentation for call_user_func_array() more closely. Your test() should take 2 parameters, the 1st is the variable name and 2nd is the actual array.
