Summary: Can't call undefined methods (using __call) on
parent
Status: Open

@michael: I think the situation is perfectly clear. I think they screwed
up on this one.
@felipe: this change is absolutely not reasonable and breaks backward
compatibility. I understand that the behaviour for #51176 is
inconvenient, but that's the way it is, you cannot change this in a
minor release.
My suggestion (and wish) is that you revert this change to the previous
behaviour. Shall we discuss this in the internals mailing list? Sounds
like an interesting issue without a straightforward solution.giov

I'm pretty sure everyone should be aware of this but I'll say it
nonetheless.
parent:: isn't necessarily a static call. When it's used within an
object context it should remain within an object context, but the
subsequent call to __callStatic seems to lose it.
I tried a workaround of testing for $this in __callStatic but it seems
to have gone missing.
Is there anything I can do to help this out? Write a more comprehensive
test case that can be checked into the suite?

The change was introduced as a fix for the bug #51176.

The difference introduced was that the __call() just will be called when
__callStatic() is not implemented, on such static method calls.

I ran into the same problem.
It's a serious breakage! I just tested on php 5.3.2 and it works as
expected!

Description:
------------
When using the __call and __callStatic functionality on a parent class
calls to parent::method() will always use __callStatic rather than the
__call.
This breaks backwards compatibility in a number of cases.
Test script:
---------------
class A {
function __call($method, $args) {
if($method == "Test") {
echo "Success.";
}
}
function __callStatic($method, $args) {
echo "Failure.";
}
}
class B extends A {
function Test() {
echo "Test called.";
parent::Test();
}
}
$test = new B;
$test->Test();
Expected result:
----------------
//Expected output: Test called.Success.
Actual result:
--------------
//Actual output: Test called.Failure
------------------------------------------------------------------------
