Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-10 15:55:24] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your expectation is wrong. Calling Test from the child class means that private method can be overridden, however it can't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-07 04:58:40] borysf at wp dot pl I made a mistake in the code snipped. Method Test in class A should be declared as private, then the problem occures. Here is the corrected code: class A { private function Test() { echo 'Hello from '.get_class($this); } public function call($method, $args = array()) { return $this->$method(); //return call_user_func(array($this, $method)); } } class B extends A { protected function Test() { echo 'Overridden hello from '.get_class($this); } } $a = new A; $b = new B; $a->call('Test'); $b->call('Test'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-06 23:26:43] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows (zip): http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip For Windows (installer): http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-installer-latest.msi Can't reproduce on 5.2.6 and 5.2.7-dev. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-06 21:51:30] borysf at wp dot pl Description: ------------ There is a difference in behavior of call_user_func(array($this, $method)) and $this->$method() while class B inherits from class A and both declares the same method. The call_user_func() function seems to work as expected, but using $this->$method() seems to invoke parent method implementation instead of the overridden one. Reproduce code: --------------- class A { protected function Test() { echo 'Hello from '.get_class($this); } public function call($method, $args = array()) { return $this->$method(); //return call_user_func(array($this, $method)); } } class B extends A { protected function Test() { echo 'Overridden hello from '.get_class($this); } } $a = new A; $b = new B; $a->call('Test'); $b->call('Test'); Expected result: ---------------- Hello from A Overridden hello from B Actual result: -------------- Hello from A Hello from B ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46246&edit=1
