PHP Bug Type:     Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  Class magic methods

Description:
------------
This could also be a poor documentation issue.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.paamayim-nekudotayim.php (aka
Scope Resolution Operator ::) states that "When an extending class
overrides the parents definition of a method, PHP will not call the
parent's method. It's up to the extended class on whether or not the
parent's method is called. This also applies to Constructors and
Destructors, Overloading, and Magic method definitions."

leading to the conclusion that magic methods (e.g., __call) are available
as class::_somefunction()

if this is just a documentation error please correct all instances of
"class" with "object".


Reproduce code:
---------------
class sometest {
  function __call($method, $arguments) {
    echo $method;
  }
}

// Test #1
$mytest = new sometest;
$mytest->dont_die();
// Test #2
sometest::dont_die();




Expected result:
----------------
// Test #1
dont_die

// Test #2
dont_die

Actual result:
--------------
// Test #1
dont_die

// Test #2
Fatal error: Call to undefined method testclass::dont_die()
