We error out now if the same method is declared more than once.

This is a bug. Confirmed with 4.3.0-dev. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 14:02:50] erickoh@chopchopsolutions.com Hi, I understand that PHP functions are not case sensitive. Declaring such 2 functions outside a class gives: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare a() in /var/www/html/a.php on line 6 However declaring the same 2 functions in a class produces no errors. This led me to believe that class methods are case-sensitive. I think it will be nice if an error can be thrown during the interpretation phase, else a note about this should be put in under the section 'PHP Classes' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 13:47:17] sander@php.net Functions names are not case sensitive and I'm sure that's noted somewhere in the manual. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 13:38:20] erickoh@chopchopsolutions.com /* Result of code below is 'AA' instead of 'aA' If this is normal behavior, I think a note about this should be made in the documentation. */ <?php class X { function a() { echo 'a'; } function A() { echo 'A'; } } X::a(); X::A(); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17882&edit=1
