Bug #62956 [NEW]: "incompatible" signatures for private methods should not cause E_STRICT

From: lsmith Operating system: PHP version: 5.4.6 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Bug Bug description:"incompatible" signatures for private methods should not cause E_STRICT Description: ------------ Defining a private method in an extending class that matches the name of a private method in a parent class with a different signature currently triggers an E_STRICT. As the extending class shouldn't see the parent private methods, there is no reason to trigger an E_STRICT in this case. Test script: --------------- <?php class A { private function foo($bar) { } } class B extends A { private function foo() { } } Expected result: ---------------- no E_STRICT error Actual result: -------------- PHP Strict standards: Declaration of B::foo() should be compatible with A::foo($bar) in /Users/lsmith/htdocs/foo.php on line 15 Strict standards: Declaration of B::foo() should be compatible with A::foo($bar) in /Users/lsmith/htdocs/foo.php on line 15 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62956&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62956&r=mysqlcfg
