Greetings,
in reference to bug #52713 i'd like to inquire you about this decision which
actually broke my codebase in different parts.
The situation is this one:
class ActiveRecord {
public function __call($method, $args) {
if ($method == "getFoo") {
// implement some default behaviour for getFoo()
}
}
public function __callStatic($method, $args) {
// do some other stuff
}
}
class Bar {
// override getFoo() to add some specific behaviour
public function getFoo() {
// do the specific stuff
parent::getFoo();
}
}
Until version 5.3.2 this worked fine, starting from version 5.3.3
parent::getFoo() calls __callStatic() instead of __call().
This is a really bad BC change which i thought you decided to accept only in
minor versions change and not patch-level versions change.
Anyway, I would even be willing to do some changes to my codebase, but what is
the solution? I can't see any other way to do this with the obvious assumptions
that my design is good and that I don't know anything about the parent class
except there is a getFoo() method implemented somehow.
My wish is that you restore the 5.3.2 behaviour, which sounds very reasonable,
and maybe introduce another way when you actually want to get rid of the
context, something like static::
