I don't see any mention in the manual that gettype should work on functions - only on variables. In fact, it cannot veen return "user function" now, so I put it in doc's problem.

It WAS undocumented but working on php3.
It IS documented and doesn't work on php4

<?
class class1
{
function classfunction1()
  {
  $b=2;
  }
}
$myclass=new class1;
echo "classfunction1 is of type ", gettype($myclass->classfunction1),"<br>n";
?>

Please provide a code example.
Also, I guess you should never rely on undocumented behaviour to preserve, anyway.

gettype() on function names returns null

Although undocumented, in version 3 it properly returned 'user function'.
