I would really like to see directly calling a string of "Class::method" be fixed for 7.0. It's currently resulting in a fatal error and is inconsistent with call_user_func[_array], is_callable and the callable type-hint. There is also a PR open since April 2014 : https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/659

Apparently, your PR has been overlooked, but it seems this is already implemented as result of merging PR #1264[1]; see <http://3v4l.org/W8hQA>. Can you please verify, and close your PR #659 as appropriate. [1] <https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1264>

Nice to see this - didn't noted it in the last month :) But there is one edge case that is not handled by PHP-7 at current behavior; http://3v4l.org/HkRQ7 class Foo {

    public static function __callStatic($m, $args) {
        var_dump($m);
    }
    public function __call($m, $args) {
        var_dump($m);
    }

} $callable = [new Foo, '']; $callable(); // string(0) "" $callable = 'Foo::'; $callable(); // Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function Foo::() This behavior is inconsistent! Thanks Marc
