AW: [PEAR] PHP5 Static functions called through __call() that don't exist... yet

Hi Jared, this won't work, if you use a static class. I'm not shure, but in my opinion all magic methods are usable in classes which can be instanciated. Following snipped should work: [snip] if (!class_exists('TypeAssert')) { class TypeAssert { private static $types = array( 'array','bool','float','integer','null','numeric', 'object','resource','scalar','string' ); public function __call($method,$arguments) { $obj = $this->assertStandardTypes($arguments[0]); return $obj->$method; } public function assertStandardTypes($para) { $r = $this->getTypesObject(); if (is_array($para)) $r->array = true; if (is_bool($para)) $r->bool = true; if (is_float($para)) $r->float = true; if (is_integer($para)) $r->integer = true; if (is_null($para)) $r->null = true; if (is_numeric($para)) $r->numeric = true; if (is_object($para)) $r->object = true; if (is_resource($para)) $r->resource = true; if (is_scalar($para)) $r->scalar = true; if (is_string($para)) $r->string = true; return $r; } public function getTypesObject() { $obj = (object) ''; for ($i = 0; $i < count(self::$types); $i++) { $obj->{self::$types[$i]} = (bool) false; } return $obj; } } } $TypeAssert = new TypeAssert(); echo('<pre>'); echo($TypeAssert->string('test')); echo('</pre>'); [/snap] Greetings Murat Purc > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Jared Farrish [mailto:farrishj@gmail.com] > Gesendet: Freitag, 18.
