Doc #75530 [NEW]: __callStatic precedence in non-static method invocation

From: msaladna at apisnetworks dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 7.1.11 Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:__callStatic precedence in non-static method invocation Description: ------------ According to the documentation, __callStatic() is triggered when invoking inaccessible methods in a static context. If a method then is declared non-static with a __callStatic() handler in the class, accessing the method statically should route through __callStatic() instead of generating a fatal error as the method is inaccessible statically. Test script: --------------- <?php class Test { protected $root = ''; public function __construct(string $root = '/') { $this->root = $root; } public static function bindTo(string $root = '/') { return new static($root); } public static function __callStatic($name, $arguments) { $instance = static::bindTo(); return $instance->$name($arguments); } public function test() { return $this->root . '/foo'; } } print Test::bindTo('/elsewhere')->test(); print Test::test(); Expected result: ---------------- /elsewhere/foo /foo Actual result: -------------- /elsewhere/foo PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Non-static method Test::test() cannot be called statically -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75530&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75530&r=mysqlcfg
