#49542 [NEW]: __callStatic() only invoked if instance method does not exist

From: mjs at beebo dot org Operating system: Ubuntu PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: __callStatic() only invoked if instance method does not exist Description: ------------ A static call to Foo::bar() does not invoke __callStatic() if an instance method bar() exists. One reason you might want this is to convert static calls to Foo::bar() to the equivalent operation on a singleton: public static function __callStatic($name, $args) { $obj = self::getInstance(); return call_user_func_array(array($obj, $name), $args); } In the sample code below, __callStatic() is not invoked even though the caller has deliberately initiated a static call. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Foo { public static function __callStatic($name, $args) { echo "In __callStatic()\n"; } public function bar() { echo "In bar()\n"; } } echo Foo::bar(); Expected result: ---------------- In _callStatic() Actual result: -------------- PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method Foo::bar() should not be called statically in /mnt/hgfs/workspace/scratch/wart1.php on line 15 Strict Standards: Non-static method Foo::bar() should not be called statically in /mnt/hgfs/workspace/scratch/wart1.php on line 15 In bar() -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49542&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49542&r=mysqlcfg
