note 85779 added to language.oop5.autoload

In a subclass, I was trying to call an overridden parent method with an arbitrary number of arguments: <? call_user_func_array(array('parent', 'someNonStaticMethod'), $args); ?> It turns out this triggers an E_STRICT level warning. So I changed to this: <? call_user_func_array(array($this, 'parent::someNonStaticMethod'), $args); ?> This doesn't trigger any warnings, but it has the undesirable (if not downright buggy) effect of calling my __autoload() function with the argument 'parent'. I had to modify __autoload() to handle this special situation: <? function __autoload($cls) { if ('parent' != $cls) { require("class.$cls.php"); } } ?> Tested on Linux with PHP 5.1.6 and 5.2.5. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 209.63.134.99 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.autoload.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85779 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85779/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85779/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85779/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85779/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85779/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85779/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85779 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85779 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
