Re: Function __call

thanks, well, the 'new' woks the same with ou without '()' after class, I think...

you think? I gave you code that shows exactly that. but you wrote the following: new $user = new user(); which is not correct, the first new in that line is a syntax error. that means you didn't cut and paste the exact code you were using, which is bad practice.

and I now how it works, i only don't understand why... if the method is not available outside of class it should go to __call function like if it doesn't exist...

this is not how it works. 'method is not available' does not mean 'method does not exist', __call is executed when a method does not exist.

it doesn't make any sense to anyone else?

it makes sense that you think it should work the way you describe, but it doesn't. it's not a bug it's by design. also your example is rather silly. you make a method private then you want to expose the very same method publically via __call(), quite simply the method should be public in that example.

hi all, I'm sending this email only to ask if someone know if the works of __call in private methods is bug or feature. ex. class user { public function __call ( $name, $arguments ) { do something return call_user_func( array( $this, $name ), $arguments );

the fatal error occurs because the method exists, but it's private ... __call() is only called if the method does not exist at all: class user {

       public function __call($m, $a) {
               if (is_callable(array($this, "_".$m)))
                       return $this->{"_".$m}( $a );
       }

       private function _xpto($a)
       {
               var_dump($a);
       }

} $u = new user; $u->xpto(1, 2, 3);

} private function xpto ( $arguments ) { do something } } new $user = new user();

the first 'new' is incorrect me thinks.

$user->xpto(); error: Fatal error: Call to private method user::xpto() from context '' in xpto.php on line 11 PS: what a fucking I was thinking? well, it don't have this public method, then it sholdn't know it exists, then go to __call() i really don't know if it make any sense to someone else, but it still make sense to me any thoughts? ---- ---- Thanks by your attention, Diogo Neves Developer @ Sapo.pt by PrimeIT.pt
