#50594 [NEW]: method_exists() is invoking __autoload()

From: maros dot gajdosik at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.2.12 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: method_exists() is invoking __autoload() Description: ------------ Function method_exists() is invoking __autoload(), which, in my opinion, is an unwanted behaviour. Sorry, if this has been posted already - tried to search for it without any results. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php // PHP file "my_class.php" class my_class{ public $property = "I'm not a class name!"; } ?> <?php // PHP file #2 function __autoload($class_name) { echo 'Loading: '.$class_name.'<br />'; require_once $class_name.'.php'; } $my_object = new my_class(); method_exists($my_object-> property, 'method'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Loading: my_class Loading: I am not a class name! -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50594&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50594&r=mysqlcfg
