The reflection API is supposed to tell "the truth". Extending the
ReflectionClass::getMethod() method is therefore no option. The only
thing I can imagine is hanving ReflectionMethod::invoke() to accept a
string, instead of an instance, as first parameter for defining the
scope. I will look into that.

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/reflectionclass.getmethod
---
If you use getMethod() on a ReflecitonClass Object, for a class, that
inherits its method from a parent class, you get a ReflectionMethod
Object, that links to the parent class. There is no possibility to get a
ReflectionMethod Object, that is connected to the class linked to the
ReflectionClass Object.
This beheaviour is not nice, if you want to use the ReflectionMethod
Object to call a static method. We could not figure out a possibility to
call the method on the child class.
A second argument on getMethod() would be nice. It could be a flag,
wether getMethod should return a ReflectionMethod object, which is
connected to the class where the method was defined or an object which
is connected to the class, that was used for the ReflectionClass.
Test script:
---------------
class ParentClass {
public static function foo(){
echo get_called_class();
}
}
class ChildClass extends MainClass {
}
$class = new ReflectionClass('ChildClass');
$method = $class->getMethod('foo');
$method->invoke(null); // outputs ParentClass instead of expected
ChildClass
Expected result:
----------------
ChildClass
Actual result:
--------------
ParentClass
