Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Hi, your last line has the mistake. Try '$method->invoke($bar);' instead, and at least on my machine it works. The reflection mirror knows about your change, the original class is left unchanged. And, as with normal classes, you need to use the mirror and invoke() to bypass visibility. Please reopen if I misunderstood something!
