#45001 [NEW]: Provide the ability to use is_callable() with __call()

From: kristopherwilson at gmail dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Provide the ability to use is_callable() with __call() Description: ------------ It would be useful to be able to use the is_callable() function on an object that overloads with __call(). Perhaps something like a magic __callable() or __is_callable() method that would return true or false on whether or not the method is callable. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class MyClass { public function __callable( $sMethod ) { return( is_callable( array( $this, $sMethod ) ) ); } private function MyFunction() {} } $oMyClass = new MyClass(); if( is_callable( $oMyClass, "MyFunction" ) ) { echo "Callable!"; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Callable!
