You should read this:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php

The magic method __call passes all the arguments pass to the function
that is not there in 1 array.  So every time you execute a function that
is not there and __call is called <grin>, you will add another outer
array.  This is also not the normal way to do oop programming. 
Normally, you extend a class and use parent::methodName to call a parent
function.
