note 54103 added to function.is-callable

Please not that is_callable will not handle private/public well from within a class: <?php class X { private function getXX($value) { return "XX $value"; } function testXX() { echo (is_callable(array($this, 'getXX')) ? $this->getXX("test") : "Can't call getXX within " . __CLASS__) . "\n"; } } class Y extends X { function testXX() { echo (is_callable(array($this, 'getXX')) ? $this->getXX("test") : "Can't call getXX within " . __CLASS__) . "\n"; } } $x = new X; echo (is_callable($x, 'getXX') ? $x->getXX("test") : "Can't call getXX outside for " . get_class($x)) . "\n"; $x->testXX(); $y = new y; echo (is_callable($y, 'getXX') ? $y->getXX("test") : "Can't call getXX outside for " . get_class($y)) . "\n"; $y->testXX(); ?> Results in: Can't call getXX outside for X XX test Can't call getXX outside for Y <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Call to private method X::getXX() from context 'Y' in ... While we would expect for $y->testXX(): Can't call getXX within Y I believe this is a bug and will report it as so (as soon as I find out how) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-callable.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54103 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54103&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54103&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54103&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54103&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54103&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54103&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54103&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
