Doc #53561 [NEW]: Difference between forward_static_call and call_user_func?

From: Operating system: All PHP version: 5.3.4 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Difference between forward_static_call and call_user_func? Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.forward-static-call-array --- Sorry, but I didn't get the difference between the two functions forward_static_call and call_user_func. Is there any specific behaviour for forward_static_call/forward_static_call_array that is not mentioned? Or does "This function must be called within a method context, it can't be used outside a class." describe the one and only difference? Also, what happens when its called outside of a class? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53561&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53561&r=mysqlcfg
