Description:
------------
This could also be a poor documentation issue.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.paamayim-nekudotayim.php (aka Scope Resolution Operator ::) states that "When an extending class overrides the parents definition of a method, PHP will not call the parent's method. It's up to the extended class on whether or not the parent's method is called. This also applies to Constructors and Destructors, Overloading, and Magic method definitions."

leading to the conclusion that magic methods (e.g., __call) are available as class::_somefunction()

if this is just a documentation error please correct all instances of "class" with "object".


Reproduce code:
---------------
class sometest {
  function __call($method, $arguments) {
    echo $method;
  }
}

// Test #1
$mytest = new sometest;
$mytest->dont_die();
// Test #2
sometest::dont_die();




Expected result:
----------------
// Test #1
dont_die

// Test #2
dont_die

Actual result:
--------------
// Test #1
dont_die

// Test #2
Fatal error: Call to undefined method testclass::dont_die()
