 New Comment:

I'm having problems with my MacBook, so I can't get that working on
that 
(I had installed a seperate install of Apache 2 and PHP separate from 
the OS, and I get an error regarding libpng with the php5 module, which

is preventing me from stoping/starting the service).

I was, however, able to produce the same exact error on my development

machine, but this time I had used array('XC', 'greaterthan') instead of

'XC::greaterthan'.

This is a live server with a bunch of websites (cpanel install). Is 
there anyway to do this without interring with the rest of the server?

Perhaps start the apache instance on a different port?

Seems to always happen randomly... has happened twice today during 
development.

Run single Apache child in gdb, then you can backtrace and dump 
variables once this happens. Or run the same in CLI. And I hope 
you're NOT using some threaded MPM with Apache? (I'm guessing you're 
using Apache2 of course since you didn't bother telling that 
either..)

Is there any way to log what happens when I reproduce it? It's really 
difficult to get it to occur.

I can't reproduce it.

Description:
------------
When making a callback through array_udiff_assoc to a static function 
this fatal error is produced, but randomly:

Fatal error: Non-static method (null)::(null)() cannot be called 
statically in /opt/local/apache2/htdocs/site/cc.php on line 12

This error only occurs about 1/3 of the time or less, and usually 
seems to happen right after saving a file. At first I thought it was 
an eAccelerator issue as I could product this error almost every time 
after re-saving the file (with or without changes), but I was also 
able to reproduce this on my MacBook which I had installed the 5.2 
branch on without any cache engines.

On a stock PHP installation with no extras it is mighty difficult to 
reproduce this error. I was able to make it occur several times if I 
refreshed the page 5-20 times after saving.

In the callback I'm referencing the function as a string: 
"XC::greaterthan". I *think* using array('XC', 'greaterthan') corrects

the problem, but I am unsure as this error seems to occur completely 
at random, and I have yet to have a 100% solid way of reproducing it.

The code below is the best way I was able to reproduce the occurrence.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class XC {
	static public function greaterthan($value1, $value2) {
		return $value1 > $value2;
	}
}

class test {
	function tester($num1, $num2) {
		var_dump(array_intersect(
			array_keys(
				array_udiff_assoc(array('if' => $num1), array('if' => $num2),
'XC::greaterthan')
			), array('if')
		));
	}
}

$t = new test();

for($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {
	$num1 = mt_rand(1, 100);
	$num2 = mt_rand(1, 100);
	$t->tester($num1, $num2);
}

Expected result:
----------------
No fatal error, just var dumps.

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Non-static method (null)::(null)() cannot be called 
statically in /opt/local/apache2/htdocs/site/cc.php on line 12

(Which points to the array_udiff_assoc function)
