Summary: spl_autoload_register() accept a protected method
Status: Open
Type: Bug
Package: SPL related
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 5.3.9

New Comment:
Protected methods have been valid as callbacks *if the callback is provided
from a scope where the protected method is visible* for quite some time, and
this certainly feels "natural".
Why should this not work?
It should also be noted that the line that errors out is the body of the last
foreach, which attempts to use the protected method as a callback without being
in a scope where the method would be visible.

All my apologize, my bug report is not very clear.
My problem is that the error message is throwed only if spl_autoload_register()
was called outsite a class.
A call to autoloader::register() does not throw any error message, even if
autoloader::requireClass(), a protected method, is used.

This report is requesting a change in the error output? It already doesn't
allow
the protected member to be registered as your actual result indicates, it
throws
an error.
What is this report about?

Description:
------------
It's possible to register a protected method as an autoloader callback with the
function spl_autoload_register().
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class autoloader
{
function register()
{
spl_autoload_register(array($this, 'requireClass'));
}
protected function requireClass() {}
}
$autoloader = new autoloader();
$autoloader->register();
$autoloadFunctions = spl_autoload_functions();
foreach ($autoloadFunctions as $autoloadFunction)
{
spl_autoload_unregister($autoloadFunction);
}
foreach ($autoloadFunctions as $autoloadFunction)
{
spl_autoload_register($autoloadFunction);
}
Expected result:
----------------
Cannot register the protected method autoload::requireClass() as a callback
Actual result:
--------------
Passed array does not specify a callable method (cannot access protected method
autoloader::requireClass())
