Ok, so maybe its a desired feature (to fix what goes against intuition). Is there any way to register a desired feature? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-18 23:27:59] fel...@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.

E.g. $o = new stdClass; $o->test = function(){ echo "Executing function"; }; I would expect this to work: $o->test(); However, it does not. This does: call_user_func($o->test); The $o->test() syntax is more concise and in keeping with other languages with such features. Reproduce code: --------------- $o = new stdClass; $o->test = function(){ echo "Executing function"; }; $o->test(); Expected result: ---------------- Executing function Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::test() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47665&edit=1
