Henrique,
Thanks for that, i completely forgot about the php4 backwards
compatibility. I havent used php4 in so long that it totally slipped my
mind.
Bug set as bogus.

Think about it for a minute. If you class is called '__call' and you
declare a function '__call', that one would be the constructor right?
The error you experience is that you are calling the constructor without
the parameters it expects.
Check this code:
<?php
class __call {
public function __call($method, $args){
echo $method."\n";
}
public function test() {
echo "i am test\n";
}
}
$obj = new __call('my method','arguments');
$obj->test();
?>
So, either PHP should not allow a class to have the same name as magic
methods, or you need to play with the idea that the constructor comes
first.
Other 'workaround' for this would be:
<?php
class __call {
public function __construct(){}
public function __call($method, $args){
echo $method."\n";
}
public function test() {
echo "i am test\n";
}
}
$obj = new __call('my method','arguments');
$obj->test();
$obj2 = new __call;
?>
Now you have a __construct() function, so __call can be used normally.
Regards,
Henrique

Personally, i dont see why you would raise a fatal error when using
magic methods for class names, you're not conflicting with anything, it
should allow you to use it as normal.

Interesting.. in reality it IMHO should abort with a fatal error when
classes are named __construct, __destruct, __call, __callStatic, __get,
__set, __isset, __unset, __sleep, __wakeup, __toString, __set_state and
__clone.

Description:
------------
I created a class named __call, within that class i created the magic
method __call. I then instantiated the __call class and tried to call a
non-existent method. I then got a missing argument error from PHP,
instead of it using the __call method.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class __call {
public function __call($method, $args){
echo $method."\n";
}
}
$obj = new __call;
$obj->test();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
test
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Missing argument 1 for __call::__call(), called in
/home/tam/test.php on line 15 and defined in /home/tam/test.php on line
5
Warning: Missing argument 2 for __call::__call(), called in
/home/tam/test.php on line 15 and defined in /home/tam/test.php on line
5
