The notion of "renaming" a constructor parameter doesn't make sense in that regard, because the parameters of the child constructor have absolutely no relation to the parameters of the parent constructor. The way to write your example would be: class A { public function __construct(public int $x) {} } class B extends A { public function __construct(int $x) { parent::__construct($x); // Your extra logic here. } } Regards, Nikita
