When a class has a __call() method, is_callable returns true no matter what, even if, when actually executed, __call() would return false. Try this code: <?php class Foo { public function __call($method, $args) { if($method == 'a') return true; if($method == 'b') return false; } } class Bar{} $foo = new Foo; $bar = new Bar; var_dump( // these return true: is_callable(array($foo, 'a')), is_callable(array($foo, 'b')), // these return false: method_exists($foo, 'a'), method_exists($foo, 'b'), is_callable(array($bar, 'a')), method_exists($bar, 'a') ); ---- Server IP: 217.71.118.166 Probable Submitter: 81.241.89.15 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-callable.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96168 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96168/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96168/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96168/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96168/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96168/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96168/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96168 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96168 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
