Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61025&edit=1 ID: 61025 Updated by: laruence@php.net Reported by: jpauli@php.net Summary: __invoke() visibility not honored Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: *nix PHP Version: 5.3.10 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I don't think this need to be fixed in this way, like __call: ```php <?php class Bar { private function __call($name, $value) { return __CLASS__; } } $b = new Bar; $b->__call("name", NULL); ``` works well, but with an warning: ``` Warning: The magic method __call() must have public visibility and cannot be static ``` I am not sure whether this is a bug, or just need document.

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
