Its one of the most annoying glitches in PHP, and funny it has existed for more than 4 years. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-29 10:50:17] worldoffame at hotmail dot com Also the argument that invoking class property could override class methods itself is just nonsense. Guess what? Its a poor design if your method shares the same name as your property anyway. If collision occurs it looks more like an improper OOP practice to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-29 10:44:14] worldoffame at hotmail dot com Any updates on this? I hope it gets fixed asap, cant believe this bug has been around for 3+ years and still left untouched. *sigh* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-08 12:24:34] programmierung at pfink dot de The worst thing on this bug is that is_callable() returns true in this case even though it's not callable: The lines if(is_callable($this->objectWithInvokeMethod)) return $this->objectWithInvokeMethod(0); produce the fatal error Fatal error: Call to undefined method MyClass::objectWithInvokeMethod() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
