#29716 [WFx]: __call with wrong no. of arguments prevents simple BC wrappers.

ID: 29716 Updated by: alan_k@php.net -Summary: alan_k Reported By: alan at akbkhome dot com Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.* New Comment: changing title (oops) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-20 05:50:22] alan_k@php.net changing status to reflect situation. Probably the best workaround to offer overload PHP4/PHP5 compatiblity is to use eval to create a base class eg. eval(' class PHP4_Overload { function __call($method,$args,&$return) { return $this->_call($method,$args,$return);; } } '); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 09:25:48] helly@php.net Btw. ext/overload: This extension is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this extension -- including the names of its functions and anything else documented about this extension -- may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this extension at your own risk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 09:18:32] helly@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php We no longer support ext/overload (and ext/aggregation). In PHP 5 __autoload was reimplemented as a new different feature even though it is in some manner meant to be able to replace the old behavior. But it is meant to do it etter and offer more. Hence unfortunatley those two are different things and yes we broke BC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 08:15:28] derick@php.net Marcus breaks it, marcus should fix it :) Also, can you please add a test case for this? thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 06:21:19] alan_k@php.net Relivant change http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/ZendEngine2/zend_compile.c?ws=0&r1=1.567&r2=1.567.2.1&ty=u I suggest testing for > 1, rather than != 2 on call, as that's the only one who's API changed in PHP4->5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
