Garbage in, garbage out.

Test script: --------------- <?php function __autoload($class) { printf("Required class: '%s'\n", $class); } $code = 'return foo::bar();'; var_dump(is_callable($code)); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) Actual result: -------------- Required class: 'return foo' bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53920&edit=1
