New Comment:
If anybody needs invokeArgs functionality though the following code
works fine:
<?
class A
{
public static function run()
{
$class = new ReflectionClass('B');
$method = $class->getMethod('foo');
call_user_func_array(array($method, 'invoke'), array('B', 1,
2));
}
}
class B extends A
{
public static function foo($v1, $v2)
{
echo $v1." / ".$v2;
}
}
B::run();
Expected result:
----------------
1 / 2
Actual result:
--------------
1 / 2

I suppose this isn't a bug since PHP 5 inherits classes public static
methods too (and they call them ... feature ... ).
$r->invoke(new MyClass, array());
This should be expected bahaviour or there's something wrong on this
"bogus": http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40886
If this bug will be solved, PHP developers should think about
*difference* between public static methods and instances methods, that
are two different things, expecially without overload possibility
changing arguments or using __call too, that in this case, isn't "so
magic", IMHO.

Description:
------------
ReflectionMethod::invoke() and ReflectionMethod::invokeArgs()
implementations currently do not support the same functionality.
Currently, ReflectionMethod::invoke() can be called using a string class
name as the first argument *if* the method is declared static. However,
ReflectionMethod::invokeArgs(), called the same way, raises a warning
and does not invoke the method:
Warning: ReflectionMethod::invokeArgs() expects parameter 1 to be
object, string given
Calling with a string class name is undocumented currently, but a useful
feature to have. I'd request that invokeArgs() be made to match the
current invoke() functionality, and the documentation updated to
indicate this usage.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class MyClass
{
public static function doSomething()
{
echo "Did it!\n";
}
}
$r = new ReflectionMethod('MyClass', 'doSomething');
$args = array();
$r->invoke('MyClass', array());
$r->invokeArgs('MyClass', $args);
Expected result:
----------------
Did it!
Did it!
Actual result:
--------------
Did it!
Warning: ReflectionMethod::invokeArgs() expects parameter 1 to be
object, string given in ... line 13
