Calling static methods automagically in PHP 5.2

Question
I've re-write the Idiorm ORM by Jamie Matthews to be completely compliant with PSR coding standards; however, I'd like to maintain backwards compatibility with the original code. The original used underscored method names, but PSR standards are camelCase. I've written a __call method to handle it when an object is created, but it doesn't work for the static methods. This commit shows the compatibility code.
Is there a way to make this work to call the static methods and still maintain php 5.2 compatibility?
Solution
You need __callStatic()
, which was just introduced in PHP 5.3; without that, I don't think you'll be able to implement this.
