#49328 [NEW]: __call is not able to handle private functions in extended classes

From: rayro at gmx dot de Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: __call is not able to handle private functions in extended classes Description: ------------ While public functions will be called on the extended class, private will not. If you define a "test" function in the Foo class, the function on the extended class will be called like expected. Code is self-explaining this "problem"... Reproduce code: --------------- abstract class Foo { function __call($f, $a) { return call_user_func_array(array($this, $f), $a); } // uncomment this: private function test() { } } class Bar extends Foo { private function test($a) { var_dump($a); } } $bar = new Bar(); $bar->test('hello'); Expected result: ---------------- string(5) "hello" Actual result: -------------- endless loop -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49328&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49328&r=mysqlcfg
