Seems that w/ __invoke() in 5.3 if a method property is_callable then the engine should check for that and call it. I realize the problem now though, in php instance variables can have the same identifier as instance methods therefore collisions could exist, for example class B { function __invoke() {} } class A { public $c = null; function c() {} } $a = new A(); $a->c = new B(); $a->c(); seems i got the notion this would work from javascript, however i also realize the reason it works there, only a single identifier is allowed which would map to either a scalar or a function object and in the later case would be invokable. the implementation in php make sense to me now. thanks for your time, -nathan
