Hi all, Static callbacks behave differently between 5.2 and 5.3, I recently noticed this when trying to install PEAR, it printed a warning each time call_user_func and call_user_func_array was used. After some tracking down it seems like the callback option for zend_parse_parameters was backported from 6 but the strict check was left as is. <?php class MyClass { function test($var) { echo "$var\n"; } } MyClass::Test('regular'); call_user_func(array('MyClass', 'test'), 'callback'); ?> The prints E_STRICT errors in PHP 5.2 but in 5.3 you get a single E_STRICT error followed by a warning for call_user_func. You can resolve this by adding the static keyword to the method declaration but regardless it's inconsistent as stands. I think the strict flag needs to be removed for 5.3. Patch is attached to resolve the issue. Scott
