PHP Magic methods and static keywords

It turns out that calling magic methods with static keywords (like parent::) do not always work:

// Doesn't work in some PHP versions
parent::findByType($type); // findByType() is magic

A quick fix is to call the method directly using __call:

parent::__call('findByType',array($type));

Just a heads up...
