From manual page: http://www.php.net/reflectionclass.getmethod
---

If you use getMethod() on a ReflecitonClass Object, for a class, that inherits its method from a parent class, you get a ReflectionMethod Object, that links to the parent class. There is no possibility to get a ReflectionMethod Object, that is connected to the class linked to the ReflectionClass Object.

This beheaviour is not nice, if you want to use the ReflectionMethod Object to call a static method. We could not figure out a possibility to call the method on the child class.

A second argument on getMethod() would be nice. It could be a flag, wether getMethod should return a ReflectionMethod object, which is connected to the class where the method was defined or an object which is connected to the class, that was used for the ReflectionClass.

Test script:
---------------
class ParentClass {
   public static function foo(){
      echo get_called_class();
   }
}
class ChildClass extends MainClass {
}

$class = new ReflectionClass('ChildClass');
$method = $class->getMethod('foo');
$method->invoke(null); // outputs ParentClass instead of expected ChildClass

Expected result:
----------------
ChildClass

Actual result:
--------------
ParentClass
