Bug #62208 [NEW]: is_callable() returning false if method name is the same as the class name

From: cidahf at live dot co dot uk Operating system: Ubuntu 12.04 PHP version: 5.4.3 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:is_callable() returning false if method name is the same as the class name Description: ------------ Using the is_callable function to check the existence of a method using a string identifier for the class fails to work as expected when the method name is the same as the class name. Normally, I would use method_exists(), but it doesn't account for whether or not the method is accessible. This bug does not seem to occur on 5.2.5 (tested on codepad). My exact PHP version is "5.4.3-4~precise+1" Test script: --------------- <?php class Test { public function test () { } } var_dump (is_callable (array ('Test', 'test'))); Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) Actual result: -------------- bool(false) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62208&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62208&r=mysqlcfg
