Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 18
### What happened
Classes must declare ```__call``` magic method in order to handle undeclared/inaccessible instance method.
### How to reproduce
```php
fnPublic(); // OK
$this->fnProtected(); // OK
$this->fnPrivate(); // OK
$this->fnUndefined(); // this statement must display error
}
}
class MyStrictClass2 extends MyStrictClass1 {
public function test() {
$this->fnPublic(); // OK
$this->fnProtected(); // OK
$this->fnPrivate(); // this statement must display error
$this->fnUndefined(); // this statement must display error
}
}
class MyClassWithMagicMethods1 {
public function fnPublic() {}
protected function fnProtected() {}
private function fnPrivate() {}
public function __call($name, $args) {
$this->$name(...$args);
}
public function test() {
$this->fnPublic(); // OK
$this->fnProtected(); // OK
$this->fnPrivate(); // OK
$this->fnUndefined(); // OK
}
}
class MyClassWithMagicMethods2 extends MyClassWithMagicMethods1 {
public function test() {
$this->fnPublic(); // OK
$this->fnProtected(); // OK
$this->fnPrivate(); // OK
$this->fnUndefined(); // OK
}
}
$strict = new MyStrictClass1;
$strict->fnPublic(); // OK
$strict->fnProtected(); // this statement must display error
$strict->fnPrivate(); // this statement must display error
$strict->fnUndefined(); // this statement must display error
$magic = new MyClassWithMagicMethods1;
$magic->fnPublic(); // OK
$magic->fnProtected(); // OK
$magic->fnPrivate(); // OK
$magic->fnUndefined(); // OK
function myFunc(MyStrictClass1 $strict, MyClassWithMagicMethods1 $magic) {
$strict->fnPublic(); // OK
$strict->fnProtected(); // this statement must display error
$strict->fnPrivate(); // this statement must display error
$strict->fnUndefined(); // this statement must display error
$magic->fnPublic(); // OK
$magic->fnProtected(); // OK
$magic->fnPrivate(); // OK
$magic->fnUndefined(); // OK
}
$strict->test();
$magic->test();
myFunc($strict, $anno, $magic);
(new MyStrictClass2)->test();
(new MyClassWithMagicMethods2)->test();
```

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported PHP code in the NetBeans PHP editor, checking calls to public, protected, private, and undefined instance methods both inside and outside the class hierarchy. Done means inaccessible or undeclared calls are reported as errors when no __call method applies, while calls handled by __call are accepted.
