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 For supporting OUT-params this must be a reference. The value you're passing in can'T be referenced so PHP complains. Older versions of PHP treated this situation wrong without complaining which was changed in order to help producing bug free code. Please see the user notes in the call_user_func_array() man page for different work-arounds. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-21 15:38:00] chris at network-13 dot com Does this mean 5.3.0 is correct in giving the error and 5.2.10 was wrong in letting it work? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-21 15:27:40] u...@php.net Sounds like Bogus http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func-array.php -> Note: Referenced variables in param_arr are passed to the function by a reference, others are passed by a value. In other words, it does not depend on the function signature whether the parameter is passed by a value or by a reference. call_user_func_array does call by value and mysqli_stmt_bind_param() is documented to expect variables passed by reference. http://de3.php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.bind-param.php bool mysqli_stmt::bind_param ( string $types , mixed &$var1 [, mixed &$... ] ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-21 15:20:42] chris at network-13 dot com Description: ------------ I tested this on both linux/windows with PHP 5.2.10 and it gave no problems. After updating the windows machine to PHP 5.3.0 it now gives the error. Warning: Parameter 3 to mysqli_stmt_bind_param() expected to be a reference, value given Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class db { public $result; function getresult(){ $connection = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', 'password', 'testdb'); $args = func_get_args(); $query = array_shift($args); if(!$connection){ mysqli_connect_error(); exit(); } $sql = mysqli_prepare($connection, $query); $types = str_repeat('s', count($args)); array_unshift($args, $types); array_unshift($args, $sql); call_user_func_array('mysqli_stmt_bind_param', $args); mysqli_stmt_execute($sql); mysqli_stmt_bind_result($sql, $result); mysqli_stmt_fetch($sql); mysqli_close($connection); $this->result = $result; } } $uid = NEW db(); $uid->getresult("SELECT uid FROM testtable WHERE user = ?","Chris"); echo $uid->result; ?> Expected result: ---------------- It should echo the uid of the user. Actual result: -------------- Warning: Parameter 3 to mysqli_stmt_bind_param() expected to be a reference, value given in D:\www\mysqli2.php on line 16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49946&edit=1
