Note Submitter: Stratadrake ---- @vad dot viktor at gmail dot com -- That's because __invoke() only works in an object context and cannot be used statically; the only time you generally need to "invoke" the class itself is when you want to create a new object of that class, and that's what the "new" keyword does already -- it tells PHP that the following word is a class name instead of a function call. Additionally there is no mechanism to "autodeclare" functions, calling an undefined function always triggers an E_ERROR.
