On L56, I think you're looking for call_user_func_array(array($this->service_namespace, '__construct'), $options) instead.

Update: actually, I don't think you can use call_user_func_array with a __construct argument, but you can use reflection instead: $reflect->newInstanceArgs($options)

I tried the call_user_func_array - but I did not try newInstanceArgs (nor had I heard about it)

I'll read up tomorrow on this http://php.net/manual/en/reflectionclass.newinstanceargs.php

Changed 65 to:

 $this->service_instance = new $this->service_namespace($reflect->newInstanceArgs($options))

But - obviously that was not what you meant.

Thanks for the pointer!

So, you mean quite literally - do just what you said! /me gets ready to go to sleep!

THANK YOU! Awesome!

$this->service_instance = $reflect->newInstanceArgs($options);
