One parameter, gathering all the method parameter in one array.
Note:
Note that the parameters for forward_static_call_array() are not passed by reference.
Returns the function result, or FALSE on error.
Example #1 forward_static_call_array() example
<?php
class A
{
const NAME = 'A';
public static function test() {
$args = func_get_args();
echo static::NAME, " ".join(',', $args)." \n";
}
}
class B extends A
{
const NAME = 'B';
public static function test() {
echo self::NAME, "\n";
forward_static_call_array(array('A', 'test'), array('more', 'args'));
forward_static_call_array( 'test', array('other', 'args'));
}
}
B::test('foo');
function test() {
$args = func_get_args();
echo "C ".join(',', $args)." \n";
}
?>
The above example will output:
