<para>
- Class methods can be overloaded to run custom code defined in your class
- by defining this specially named method. The <varname>$name</varname>
- parameter used is the name as the function name that was requested
- to be used. The arguments that were passed in the function will be
- defined as an array in the <varname>$arguments</varname> parameter.
- The value returned from the __call() method will be returned to the
- caller of the method.
+ The magic method __call() allows to capture invocation of non existing
+ methods. That way __call() can be used to implement user defined method
+ handling that depends on the name of the actual method being called. This
+ is for instance useful for proxy implementations. The arguments that were
+ passed in the function will be defined as an array in the
+ <varname>$arguments</varname> parameter. The value returned from the
+ __call() method will be returned to the caller of the method.
