PHP Call-time pass-by-reference unavoidable?

Question

Given the following interface:

interface ISoapInterface {
  public static function registerSoapTypes( &$wsdl );
  public static function registerSoapOperatio         


        

Answer 1

From the call_user_func:

Note that the parameters for call_user_func() are not passed by reference.

To invoke static methods you can use Class::method() syntax, supplying a variable for the Class and/or method parts:

$soapProvider = array( "FilePool", "UserList" );
foreach( $soapProvider as $provider ) {
  $provider::registerSoapTypes($server->wsdl);
  $provider::registerSoapOperations($server);
}
