Re: [PHP-DEV] __call interceptor and static methods

[Andi Gutmans]

In most cases method overloading is used for objects and not for classes 
(for example, initiating a SOAP object and then calling methods on it.).
It doesn't make sense to mix these two things because it would lead to 
confusion what context the method was called in. You would either need 
another call back or pass a flag to __call() and in my opinion just doesn't 
seem to be worth it.

Hi,
is there any reason why __call shouldn't be invoked for static method
calls?
Reproduce
---------
php5 -r 'class A { function __call($name, $args) { var_dump($name,
$args); } } A::foo();'
Actual result
-------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined method A::foo() in Command line code on
line 1
Expected result
---------------
string(3) "foo"
array(0) {
}
