ID: 48984 Comment by: giorgio dot liscio at email dot it Reported by: themastersleader at hotmail dot com Summary: Strict errors when implementing an interface (with private methods) Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Win XP PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment: a private method is exactly like the others... explained by the fact that a private method can be public in a subclass class A{private function x(){}} class B extends A{public function x(){parent::x()}} Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-15 15:16:40] itay dot malimovka at gmail dot com @giorgio dot liscio at email dot it This is **ONLY** true when the method is protected or public. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-15 11:20:50] themastersleader at hotmail dot com Quote "extending a method means that in the sub-class the overrided method can be used as can i use it in the parent class" The problem is that the sub-class isn't extending the method this because the method is defined as private. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-15 09:25:23] giorgio dot liscio at email dot it this is not a bug extending a method means that in the sub-class the overrided method can be used as can i use it in the parent class so if i have function test($a, $b, $c){} in the subclasses every additional parameter must be "not required" to make the method working function test($a, $b, $c, $d=NULL, $e=NULL, $f=NULL) =NULL means that are not required so in your code class ChildClass extends ParentClass { public function foo(array $content=NULL) { } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-14 20:18:10] itay dot malimovka at gmail dot com I am having a similar issue in php 5.3 with two classes inheriting from each other. Both have same name methods with different params. Both methods are private. I get the same error. This is NOT a normal behaviour! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-22 15:34:12] themastersleader at hotmail dot com I think it is a bug, someone else tested it in php 5.2.9 and then it worked, 5.3.0 gives problems.
