ID: 54171 User updated by: hellosexyprout at gmail dot com Reported by: hellosexyprout at gmail dot com Summary: is_callable() returns false on callable functions when not specifying namespace Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Ubuntu 10.10 PHP Version: 5.3.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: PLEASE NOTE: I inverted the actual and expected results, sorry. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-05 21:00:08] hellosexyprout at gmail dot com Description: ------------ First sorry, I can only test this case with PHP 5.3.3 but I didn't find any bugs referring to is_callable() since then, so I think it's worth reporting. The problem is that is_callable() will return false if you don't specify the eventual namespace you're using. Test script: --------------- <?php namespace Foo; function bar() { return 'bar!'; } var_dump(is_callable('bar')); var_dump(is_callable('\Foo\bar')); var_dump(bar()); var_dump(\Foo\bar()); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) bool(true) string(4) "bar!" string(4) "bar!" Actual result: -------------- bool(true) bool(true) string(4) "bar!" string(4) "bar!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54171&edit=1
