Class to implement stub globals, which are globals that delay loading the their associated module code by deferring initialisation until the first method call.
Note on reference parameters:
If the called method takes any parameters by reference, the __call magic here won't work correctly. The solution is to unstub the object before calling the method.
Note on unstub loops:
Unstub loops (infinite recursion) sometimes occur when a constructor calls another function, and the other function calls some method of the stub. The best way to avoid this is to make constructors as lightweight as possible, deferring any initialisation which depends on other modules. As a last resort, you can use StubObject::isRealObject() to break the loop, but as a general rule, the stub object mechanism should be transparent, and code which refers to it should be kept to a minimum.

StubObject::__construct | ( | $ | global = null , |
$ | class = null , |
||
$ | params = array() |
||
) |
Constructor.
string | $global | name of the global variable. |
string | $class | name of the class of the real object. |
array | $params | parameters to pass to constructor of the real object. |
Reimplemented in DeprecatedGlobal.

StubObject::__call | ( | $ | name, |
$ | args | ||
) |
Function called by PHP if no function with that name exists in this object.
string | $name | name of the function called |
array | $args | arguments |
Reimplemented in StubUserLang, and StubContLang.

StubObject::_call | ( | $ | name, |
$ | args | ||
) |
Function called if any function exists with that name in this object.
It is used to unstub the object. Only used internally, PHP will call self::__call() function and that function will call this function. This function will also call the function with the same name in the real object.
string | $name | name of the function called |
array | $args | arguments |

StubObject::_unstub | ( | $ | name = '_unstub' , |

) |
This function creates a new object of the real class and replace it in the global variable.
This is public, for the convenience of external callers wishing to access properties, e.g. eval.php
string | $name | name of the method called in this object. |
$level | Integer: level to go in the stack trace to get the function who called this function. |

static StubObject::isRealObject | ( | $ | obj | ) | [static] |
Returns a bool value whenever $obj is a stub object.
Can be used to break a infinite loop when unstubbing an object.
$obj | Object to check. |

static StubObject::unstub | ( | $ | obj | ) | [static] |
Unstubs an object, if it is a stub object.
Can be used to break a infinite loop when unstubbing an object or to avoid reference parameter breakage.
