It's a serious breakage! I just tested on php 5.3.2 and it works as expected! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-27 06:06:16] michael at wakeless dot net Description: ------------ When using the __call and __callStatic functionality on a parent class calls to parent::method() will always use __callStatic rather than the __call. This breaks backwards compatibility in a number of cases. Test script: --------------- class A { function __call($method, $args) { if($method == "Test") { echo "Success."; } } function __callStatic($method, $args) { echo "Failure."; } } class B extends A { function Test() { echo "Test called."; parent::Test(); } } $test = new B; $test->Test(); Expected result: ---------------- //Expected output: Test called.Success. Actual result: -------------- //Actual output: Test called.Failure ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52713&edit=1
