Description: ------------ i have defined a method in 'myClass' named 'myMethod' and it can be called statically. i cant use call_user_func() because i need to pass a variable by reference and since call_user_func() is a function itself i cant get the variable passed (if i add the "&" to the variable in call_user_func i get a "calltime-pass-by-reference" error in php5, but it works for now) tried with 4.3.8 and 5.0.3RC1 Reproduce code: --------------- Generates Error: <? $meth = 'myMethod'; is_callable(array('myClass',$meth),null,$callname); echo $callname($variable); ?> Works: <? echo myClass::myMethod($variable); ?> Expected result: ---------------- myClass::myMethod() should be called Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function myClass::myMethod() in XXX on line XXX -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31023&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31023&r=mysqlcfg
