PHP magic methods have a method signature check.
While in most cases it wouldn't make sense not to use the declared/passed parameters, most notably with __call() and __callStatic() there can be situations in which not all parameters are used, like when it is known that the methods which will be called will not take arguments.
class Valid_Magic_Methods
{
public function __call($name, $args) {
return $this->$name();
}
public static function __callStatic($name, $args) {
return self::$name();
}
}Currently this standard will throw a Unused function parameter $name. (VariableAnalysis.CodeAnalysis.VariableAnalysis.UnusedVariable) warning in this situation, but the offending parameter can not be removed as otherwise PHP generates a fatal error.
