#48138 [NEW]: call_user_func documentation confusing and vague for callback usage.

From: cythrawll at codeangel dot org Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: call_user_func documentation confusing and vague for callback usage. Description: ------------ Documentation for call_user_func implicitly mentions methods of calling static methods from a class, but fails to mention that any callback is valid, this seemed to cause confusion that methods from an object can not be called from this function. User was convinced this wouldn't work because of the documentation: call_user_func(array($objinstance, 'methodname'), $arg); -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48138&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48138&r=mysqlcfg
