Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is how it works... you can always open up an API through a new extended interface, but not hide more. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-21 09:38:19] prometheus__0 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ (1) It is not possible to make inherited functions more private, which seems like a bug to me but (2) it is possible to make inherited functions more public, which shouldn't be possible, afaik. The example code causes the fatal (1) if you change protected function __construct() to public function __construct() from class b and public function __construct(){ to protected function __construct(){ from class a it works (2) since i'm not an expert in oop i tried the same example in java and it works the complete opposite way (the b functions can be more private but not more public) and in C++ it's the same i know bug report http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34237 but it considers point (2) point (1) is still a bug in my opinion Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class a{ public function __construct(){ print("public construct\n"); } } class b extends a{ protected function __construct(){ print("protected construct\n"); } public static function getInstance(){ return new b(); } } $b = b::getInstance(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- protected construct Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Access level to b::__construct() must be public (as in class a) in PHPDocument2 on line 16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40880&edit=1
