Description:
------------
You *must* use Call-time pass-by-reference to pass a    
object-reference when using call_user_function. 
  
In the example changeA() is declared to use passing 
by reference but it still doesn't work. I think  
call_user_function should either try to discover if it's 
passing by reference at runtime or just pass always by 
reference.  
  
   
      

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

class A {
var $_id = 'A';

function printID() {
  print "A::id=[".$this->_id."]\n";
}

function remote(&$obj_ref, $obj_method) {
  call_user_func(array(&$obj_ref, $obj_method), $this);
  // this on works:
  // call_user_func(array(&$obj_ref, $obj_method),&$this);
}
}

class B {
function changeA(&$obj) {
  $obj->_id = 'B';
  $obj->printID();
}
}

$a = new A();
$b = new B();
$a->printID();
$a->remote($b, 'changeA');
$a->printID();

?>

Expected result:
----------------
A::id=[A]  
A::id=[B]  
A::id=[B] 
 
  
   

Actual result:
--------------
A::id=[A]  
A::id=[B]  
A::id=[A]
