PHP:Array ByRef does not work

[amitabh-georadius]

I am trying to pass an array ByRef from Php script to a function inside my extension, so that the values of the array changed by the extension function is accessible back in the Php script.

But for some reason, it doesn't seem to be working. I have seen issue #350, so was wondering if this has been fixed, or is there something I am completely missing. As is mentioned in the linked issue, strings, integers etc are working properly when passed ByRef, its only the arrays I am having trouble with

This workaround seems to work with version 2.2.0

Extension:

#include <phpcpp.h>

Php::Value test(Php::Parameters& params) {

	Php::Value theArray = params[0];
	Php::Value theString= params[1];
	
	theArray = theArray.makeReference(); 		// Workaround for this bug
	theArray["THIS IS"] = "YET ANOTHER TEST";
	params[0] = theArray;
	params[1] = "YET AGAIN !";

        std::string dummy = "DUMMY";

	return dummy;
}

extern "C" {
	PHPCPP_EXPORT void *get_module() {

            static Php::Extension extension("test", "1.0");

	    // PHP Signature: function test(array &$input2, string &$input) : string 
            extension.add<test>("test", {	
                    Php::ByRef("input", Php::Type::Array, true),
                    Php::ByRef("input2",Php::Type::String, true)
             });
       }
}

PHP:

$a = ['THIS IS' => 'A TEST', 'I AM' => 'UNCHANGED !'];
$b = "AGAIN";
$dummy = test($a, $b);
var_dump($dummy, $a, $b);
