   I created a new class that extends the Walker class. In my new class, I've overridden the walk function to add new functionality.

   I initially attempted to call the base-class implementation using this code:

   return parent::walk($elements, $to_depth);

   I received errors stating:

   [29-Nov-2007 00:42:20] PHP Warning: Missing argument 4 for start_el() in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/tommyb.dev/wp-content/themes/tbplatinum-20/navbar.php on line 80
   [29-Nov-2007 00:42:20] PHP Warning: Missing argument 5 for start_el() in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/tommyb.dev/wp-content/themes/tbplatinum-20/navbar.php on line 80
   [29-Nov-2007 00:42:20] PHP Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/tommyb.dev/wp-content/themes/tbplatinum-20/navbar.php on line 82

   So I thought I should call the base class implementation using call_user_func_array. This is what I tried:

   return call_user_func_array(array(&$this, 'parent::walk'), $args);

   The PHP error log reports:

   PHP Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argumented is expected to be a valid callback, 'walker_navbar::parent::walk' was given in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/tommyb.dev/wp-content/themes/tbplatinum-20/navbar.php on line 48

   So, can anyone tell me how to call the Walker::walk function using call_user_func_array?

   Many thanks for any help!

   $parent_class=get_parent_class($this);
   call_user_func_array(array($parent_class, 'walk'), $args);
