Well, does Foo::__call has access to Bar::test() if the private function is defined in the abstract class? Although, since 5.3 __call can handle private functions (place __call in Bar), this _should_ be argumented as a bug i think? The access level should not matter while extending?

Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Foo::__call() doesn't have access to Bar::test() since its private. I can't see see the "problem" here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-22 12:25:18] rayro at gmx dot de Description: ------------ While public functions will be called on the extended class, private will not. If you define a "test" function in the Foo class, the function on the extended class will be called like expected. Code is self-explaining this "problem"... Reproduce code: --------------- abstract class Foo { function __call($f, $a) { return call_user_func_array(array($this, $f), $a); } // uncomment this: private function test() { } } class Bar extends Foo { private function test($a) { var_dump($a); } } $bar = new Bar(); $bar->test('hello'); Expected result: ---------------- string(5) "hello" Actual result: -------------- endless loop ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49328&edit=1
