Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64059&edit=1 ID: 64059 User updated by: php at anthonybishopric dot com Reported by: php at anthonybishopric dot com Summary: Backwards Incompatible __callStatic Behavior -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: All -PHP Version: 5.4.11 +PHP Version: 5.4.11, 5.3.x Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry, closing this - it appears this behavior was introduced sometime during 5.3.x - I tested on 5.3.3. Also found https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51176 which suggests this is not a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-23 22:46:19] php at anthonybishopric dot com Description: ------------ PHP 5.4 seems to have changed the behavior of __callStatic when invoked inside the object context of the defining class. If both __call and __callStatic are defined, then inaccessible methods when invoked with a static context are sent to __callStatic. However, inside an object context, inaccessible methods that use the 'static', 'self' or $classname to invoke the method still get delegated to __call. In 5.3, statically invoked, inaccessible methods delegated to __callStatic, no matter where they are invoked. This is a breaking change that should be listed on the PHP 5.4 backwards incompatible change list. If this is an unintended change it should be fixed as a bug. Test script: --------------- class Magic{ public static function __callStatic($name, $args){ echo "__callStatic($name) invoked!\n"; } public function __call($name, $args){ echo "__call($name) invoked!\n"; } public function foo(){ Magic::bar(); // __call, but should be __callStatic static::bar(); // __call, but should be __callStatic self::bar(); // __call, but should be __callStatic $this->bar(); // correctly is __call } } $magic = new Magic(); $magic->foo(); Expected result: ---------------- __callStatic(bar) invoked! __callStatic(bar) invoked! __callStatic(bar) invoked! __call(bar) invoked! Actual result: -------------- __call(bar) invoked! __call(bar) invoked! __call(bar) invoked! __call(bar) invoked! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64059&edit=1
