__call method not get executed when try to call non existent function in yii controller?

Question

<?php
class ReportsController extends CController
{
    public function __call($name,$argument)
    {
        echo "test";
    }

}
?>

This is my Yii controller class and when calling index.php?r=reports/test URL it has to call the __call method as test method is not exists but it gives error The system is unable to find the requested action test error.

Answer 1

Implement missingAction method in your controller,

As said @xdazz, it checks if method exists and if not it calls missingAction method.

//This method is invoked when the controller cannot find the requested action.

public function missingAction($actionID)
{
    // Your code here
}

Answer 2

This is depending on the implement of the framework.

For example, if the framework implement the code like:

If (!method_exists($controller, $action)) {
  throw new Exception("The system is unable to find the requested action $action");
}
