#44144 [Csd]: spl_autoload_functions() should return object instance when appropriate

ID: 44144 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: ezyang@php.net Status: Closed Bug Type: SPL related Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: 5.3CVS-2008-02-18 (CVS) Assigned To: colder New Comment: Please do not do such change again in stable releases! It is obviously a BC break and forces users to have a work around for 5.2.11 and later while keeping the old code for 5.2.10 or earlier. I can understand that we like to match what is done in call_user_func, but it should not be done at the price of BC in a stable branche (has behaved like that for many releases already).
