Otherwise it becomes useless. This is IMO particularly true for static methods checks, since __call is defined as non-static. Reproduce code: --------------- class A { public function __call($m, $a) { } } class B extends A { public static function foo() { echo 'foo'; } } if (is_callable(array('A', 'foo'))) { call_user_func(array('A', 'foo')); } Expected result: ---------------- Outputs nothing. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined method A::foo() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34678&edit=1
