Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66719&edit=1 ID: 66719 Comment by: coolwust at gmail dot com Reported by: coolwust at gmail dot com Summary: Weird behaviour when using get_called_class() with call_user_func() Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.5.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: According to http://us1.php.net/manual/en/language.types.callable.php It is valid: // Type 5: Relative static class method call (As of PHP 5.3.0) class A { public static function who() { echo "A\n"; } } class B extends A { public static function who() { echo "B\n"; } } call_user_func(array('B', 'parent::who')); // A Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-02-15 21:40:56] requinix@php.net array('B', 'parent::who') is not valid: the second element must be the name of a method. array('B', 'who') is the correct form. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-02-15 18:28:53] coolwust at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.get-called-class --- B::who(); should has the same result as call_user_func(array('B', 'parent::who')); But it's not. See the example below. Test script: --------------- <?php class A { public static function who() { var_dump(get_called_class()); } } class B extends A { public static function who() { parent::who(); } } B::who(); call_user_func(array('B', 'parent::who')); ?> Expected result: ---------------- string 'B' (length=1) string 'B' (length=1) Actual result: -------------- string 'B' (length=1) boolean false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66719&edit=1
