#38497 [Bgs->Opn]: Overloading does not work with extended classes (__call() never called)

ID: 38497 User updated by: alessio dot bazzica at gmail dot com Reported By: alessio dot bazzica at gmail dot com -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Mac OS X PHP Version: 5.1.5 New Comment: Sorry, maybe I didn't explain the problem clearly. Sure child classes inherit parent's methods but my problem is another. I need to overload ParentClass::DoSomething() so I defined ChildClass::__call($method, $args) to call ChildClass::DoSomething_OVERLOAD() instead of ChildClass::DoSomething() (if $method is 'DoSomething'). It seems that PHP invoke DoSomething() before __call() on child class. In this case it is ALWAYS impossible to overload a parent method. My question is: "PHP denies parent method overloading or this could be a bug???". Thank you, Alessio Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-14 20:52:05] tony2001@php.net Childs DO inherit parent's methods. No bug here, this is expected and well documented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-14 20:31:49] alessio dot bazzica at gmail dot com Please download a zip file containing my test case script at http://webapp.altervista.org/php_ovrldext_test.zip.
