Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-30 02:22:11] willfitch@php.net johannes - I can commit a fix for this, but at what point should it be introduced? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-10 22:34:44] johannes@php.net Yes, the current behavior is wrong. I don't think it should be fixed in 5.3 though as the fix might break existing code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-09 09:17:23] jpauli@php.net Description: ------------ __invoke() visibility is not honored when indirectly called as $obj(). It is, when directly called, via $obj->__invoke(); Please, note as well that declaring __invoke() as static works as well, I think it shouldn't (nonsense) Test script: --------------- <?php class Bar { private function __invoke() { return __CLASS__; } } $b = new Bar; echo $b(); /* this works as expected : Fatal Error */ /* echo $b->__invoke(); */ Expected result: ---------------- Call to private method Bar::__invoke() from context ... Actual result: -------------- Bar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61025&edit=1
