Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.magic.php
---
Reflected invocation of protected method fails with:

"PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Trying to invoke protected method"

Documentation says:

"__call() is triggered when invoking inaccessible methods in an object context."

Should read:

"__call() is triggered when invoking invisible methods in an object context."



Test script:
---------------
<?php
class test {
	public function __call($name, $args) {
		return 123;
	}
}

class testdev extends test {
	protected function cansee() {
		return 456;
	}
}

$x = new testdev();
$r = new ReflectionMethod($x, 'cansee');

echo $r->invoke($x) . "\n";

This is just semantics; I don't see a need to change them.

Technically, private/protected/public are in fact access modifiers and not visibility modifiers ... method_exists, or just method calls illustrate this, from a context where a protected method is not accessible it is still visible.
