Not sure why I'm sharing this; but it could be a gotcha

been there, got the T-shirt, see below for my work around.

class testOuter {

    private $base;
        public function __construct()
    {
        $this->base = new testBase;
    }
    public function __call( $methodName , $values )
    {
        echo __METHOD__ . PHP_EOL;
        print_r( $values );
        $this->base->test( $values );

$this->base->__call( $methodName, $values ); or call_user_func_array(array($this->base, 'test'), $values); I prefer the first one because AFAIK it's faster, and it's easier to read :-)

    }

} $test = new testOuter; $test->test( 'test' ); ?> output: testOuter::__call Array (

    [0] => test

) testBase::__call Array (

    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => test
        )

) point: note the $values keep getting nested into an array one deeper; get's frustrating when dealing with passing arrays and detecting whats in them! [consider if( count($values) ) or even foreach etc..]!
