The following code works:
<?php
class TestClass {
static function test_method($foo) {
global $x;
return str_replace('twitter', $x, $foo);
}
}
$x = 'wibble';
ob_start(
function ($html) {
$pattern = '~(<a .*?href=["\'])([^"\']+)(["\'].*?>.*?</a>)~';
return preg_replace_callback(
$pattern,
function ($matches) {
$y = TestClass::test_method($matches[2]);
return $matches[1] . $y . $matches[3];
},
$html
);
}
);
?>

However this does not:
<?php
class TestClass {
static function test_method($foo) {
global $x;
return str_replace('twitter', $x->scalar, $foo);
}
}
$x = (object) 'wibble';
ob_start(
function ($html) {
$pattern = '~(<a .*?href=["\'])([^"\']+)(["\'].*?>.*?</a>)~';
return preg_replace_callback(
$pattern,
function ($matches) {
$y = TestClass::test_method($matches[2]);
return $matches[1] . $y . $matches[3];
},
$html
);
}
);
?>
