"When an extending class overrides the parents definition of a
method..."
So no, nothing leads to the conclusion that the magic method __call is
used on static calls.
What it means is that:
class A {
function __call($method, $arguments) {
echo $method;
}
}
class B extends A {
function __call($method, $arguments) {
// here, A::__call won't be automatically called
// as B overrides the definition of A::__call
// you've to use for example:
parent::__call($method, $arguments);
}
}

Description:
------------
This could also be a poor documentation issue.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.paamayim-nekudotayim.php
(aka Scope Resolution Operator ::) states that "When an extending class
overrides the parents definition of a method, PHP will not call the
parent's method. It's up to the extended class on whether or not the
parent's method is called. This also applies to Constructors and
Destructors, Overloading, and Magic method definitions."
leading to the conclusion that magic methods (e.g., __call) are
available as class::_somefunction()
if this is just a documentation error please correct all instances of
"class" with "object".
Reproduce code:
---------------
class sometest {
function __call($method, $arguments) {
echo $method;
}
}
// Test #1
$mytest = new sometest;
$mytest->dont_die();
// Test #2
sometest::dont_die();
Expected result:
----------------
// Test #1
dont_die
// Test #2
dont_die
Actual result:
--------------
// Test #1
dont_die
// Test #2
Fatal error: Call to undefined method testclass::dont_die()
