From: matthew at zend dot com Operating system: Debian SID on i686 PHP version: 5.1.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: ReflectionMethod::invoke() and ::invokeArgs() static method calls should match
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!
