note 119218 added to function.is-callable

I don't know if it is a bug but when you test an array with a class and method, is_callable returns true for non static method. Consider the following code: <?php class A { public static function test() { echo 'test', '<br>'; } public function hello() { echo 'hello', '<br>'; } } echo "Static #1: call_user_func(array('A', 'test')) => ", call_user_func(array('A', 'test')), '<br>'; echo 'expect is_callable TRUE => ', is_callable(array('A', 'test')) ? 'TRUE, A::test() is callable statically' : 'FALSE, A::test() is not callable statically', '<br><br>' ; echo "Static #2: call_user_func(array('A', 'hello')) => ", call_user_func(array('A', 'hello')), '<br>'; echo 'expect is_callable FALSE => ', is_callable(array('A', 'hello')) ? 'TRUE, A::hello() is callable statically' : 'FALSE, A::hello() is not callable statically', '<br><br>' ; $a = new A(); echo "Instance #1: call_user_func(array(\$a, 'test')) => ", call_user_func(array($a, 'test')), '<br>'; echo 'expect is_callable TRUE => ', is_callable(array($a, 'test')) ? 'TRUE, $a::test() is callable' : 'FALSE, $a::test() is not callable', '<br><br>' ; echo "Instance #2: call_user_func(array(\$a, 'hello')) => ", call_user_func(array($a, 'hello')), '<br>'; echo 'expect is_callable FALSE => ', is_callable(array($a, 'hello')) ? 'TRUE, $a::hello() is callable' : 'FALSE, $a::hello() is not callable', '<br><br>' ; ?> Will output: Static #1: call_user_func(array('A', 'test')) => test expect is_callable TRUE => TRUE, A::test() is callable statically Static #2: call_user_func(array('A', 'hello')) => Strict Standards: call_user_func() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, non-static method A::hello() should not be called statically in test.php on line 24 hello expect is_callable FALSE => TRUE, A::hello() is callable statically Instance #1: call_user_func(array($a, 'test')) => test expect is_callable TRUE => TRUE, $a::test() is callable Instance #2: call_user_func(array($a, 'hello')) => hello expect is_callable TRUE => TRUE, $a::hello() is callable ------------------------------------------------------------ Also note that this works the same for inherited methods (I read other posts suggesting otherwise), and that private methods (static, inherited or both) always return false in any case as expected.
