Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-27 11:47:55] jackovson at gmail dot com Description: ------------ As said in the link below, is_callable() will always return TRUE if _call() is defined. Maybe it should simply not, or maybe whe should have another magic method like : __methodexist($name), that return TRUE if a method could be called by __call(). http://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.is-callable.php#49879 Test script: --------------- <?php class TestMe { public function __call($name, $args) { } public function bug($function) { return is_callable(array($this, $function)); } public function iExist() { } } $test = new TestMe(); var_dump($test->bug('iExist')); var_dump($test->bug('iDont')); Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) bool(false) Actual result: -------------- bool(true) bool(true) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52933&edit=1
