Description:
------------
I have discovered weird call_user_func behaviour while calling non existing method 
of the class. Instead of throwing some type of warning it tries to call non 
existing class with scrambled name.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
class experimental{}

function __autoload($class_name)
{
	echo sprintf('<pre>%s</pre>',print_r(debug_backtrace(),true));
}

call_user_func(array('experimental','non_existing_method'));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
some king of warning or error

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [function] => __autoload
            [args] => Array
                (
                    [0] => zybplbn6ps6m
                )

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [file] => /www/test.php
            [line] => 13
            [function] => call_user_func
            [args] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => experimental
                            [1] => non_existing_method
                        )

                )

        )

)

I cannot reproduce this.

I got the message "Warning: call_user_func(experimental::non_existing_method): First argument is expected to be a valid callback"

Hi Felipe, you are probably using version >=5.3. This bug related to version below 
5.3 and it was reproduced on server running 5.2.13

Hi, I am using 5.2 SVN.
(PHP 5.2.14RC4-dev (cli) (built: Jul 31 2010 13:23:04) (DEBUG))

I don't have 5.2.14 installed on my hosting to confirm that it works on this 
version. However I have uploaded this script on other hosting accounts that with 
5.2.11 and 5.2.13 version installed.

I've gone back as far as 5.2.11 and I can't reproduce this either -- every version I've tested gives the same (valid) warning as Felipe got.

What does "php -m" output? (If you don't have CLI access, then the output of var_dump(get_loaded_extensions()) would suffice.)

Here is output of get_loaded_extensions() on my local system PHP v 5.3.2, WIN 7 
64bit.

As you can see this behaviour was reproduced on 5.2.11, 5.2.13, 5.3.2 versions 
of php

Do you still get the problem if the various Zend and ionCube extensions aren't loaded?
