[1] <https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.magic.php#language.oop5.traits.visibility.ex1> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-09-16 06:58:18] divinity76+spam at gmail dot com Description: ------------ the Callable documentation at https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.callable.php says these things can be callable: a string containing a function name or "ClassName::StaticMethod", and an array containing containing an object or classname in index 0 and a string in index 1, and finally, closures. but every PHP version since 5.3.0 (when __invoke was introduced) consider an object with an __invoke method to be callable as well, either the documentation is lacking and objects with __invoke are indeed callable, or the php implementation is wrong, i'm guessing it's the former Test script: --------------- <?php class C{ function __invoke(){} } var_dump(is_callable(new C)); Expected result: ---------------- // according to Callable type documentation bool(false) Actual result: -------------- bool(true) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80110&edit=1
