Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-14 19:35:47] requinix@php.net "Basic method overriding" is you making sure your child class conforms to the interface specified by the parent class. That includes type hints. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-14 18:28:48] chazmead89 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ PHP Warning: Declaration of B::foo(string $boo) should be compatible with A::foo(array $bar) in php shell code on line 3 This should not be a warning... this is basic method overriding, and should be perfectly good code. For some reason I get a fatal error on apache handler, but only warning on CLI, possibly Xdebug RC4 escalating it as a bug in XDdebug. Test script: --------------- class A { public function foo(string $bar) { print_r($bar); } } class B extends A { public function foo(array $bar) { print_r($bar); } } Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: Declaration of B::foo(string $boo) should be compatible with A::foo(array $bar) in php shell code on line 3 Warning: Declaration of B::foo(string $boo) should be compatible with A::foo(array $bar) in php shell code on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71119&edit=1
