note 123449 added to language.types.callable

Having read this line in the manual above, "A method of an instantiated object is passed as an array containing an object at index 0 and the method name at index 1. Accessing protected and private methods from within a class is allowed." I decided to do some testing to see if I could access private methods using the call_user_func methods. Thankfully not, but for completeness here is my test which also covers using static and object contexts <?php class foo { public static $isInstance = false; public function __construct() { self::$isInstance = true; } public function bar() { var_dump(self::$isInstance); echo __METHOD__; } private function baz() { var_dump(self::$isInstance); echo __METHOD__; } public function qux() { $this->baz(); } public function quux() { self::baz(); } } call_user_func(['foo','bar']); //fase, foo:bar call_user_func(['foo','baz']); //warning, cannot access private method call_user_func(['foo','quux']); //false, foo::baz call_user_func(['foo','qux']); //fatal, Using $this when not in object context $foo = new foo; call_user_func([$foo,'bar']); //true, foo::bar call_user_func([$foo,'baz']); //warning, cannot access private method call_user_func([$foo,'qux']); //true, foo::baz call_user_func(['foo','bar']); //true, foo::bar (static call, yet $isInstance is true) ?> ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 194.73.249.148 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.callable.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/123449 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123449/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123449/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123449/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123449/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123449/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123449/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123449 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/123449 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
