If you just want to make sure you can call it, use is_callable. If you need to make sure that the method exists by that name (meaning it's not callable just through a magic method) then use both. 2. If you just want to know if the method exists, not caring whether you can call it at that point, then method_exists alone is enough. 3. If you want to call the method and you don't care why or how it's callable, but just that it is, then use is_callable alone. Just notice the purpose of each: is_callable tells you whether calling it will abort the script with an error, while method_exists tells you if that method was actually hard-coded in a particular class, not caring if it's gonna explode in your face when you try to call it. @mdomba, it depends on what you’re attempting.
