Doc #65071 [Opn->Nab]: magic __call not implemented as documented

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65071&edit=1 ID: 65071 Updated by: krakjoe@php.net Reported by: simong at ganz dot com Summary: magic __call not implemented as documented -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: Reflection related PHP Version: 5.3.26 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is just semantics; I don't see a need to change them. Technically, private/protected/public are in fact access modifiers and not visibility modifiers ... method_exists, or just method calls illustrate this, from a context where a protected method is not accessible it is still visible.

Should read: "__call() is triggered when invoking invisible methods in an object context." Test script: --------------- <?php class test { public function __call($name, $args) { return 123; } } class testdev extends test { protected function cansee() { return 456; } } $x = new testdev(); $r = new ReflectionMethod($x, 'cansee'); echo $r->invoke($x) .
