Re: __call interceptor and static methods

In most cases method overloading is used for objects and not for classes (for example, initiating a SOAP object and then calling methods on it.). It doesn't make sense to mix these two things because it would lead to confusion what context the method was called in. You would either need another call back or pass a flag to __call() and in my opinion just doesn't seem to be worth it. Andi At 05:26 PM 11/7/2004 +0100, Timm Friebe wrote:

Hi, is there any reason why __call shouldn't be invoked for static method calls?
