Bug #72401 [NEW]: Function argument compatibility for static member functions

From: martijn dot otto at copernica dot com Operating system: PHP version: 7.0.7 Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Function argument compatibility for static member functions Description: ------------ PHP incorrectly complains about static member functions not being compatible. This makes no sense as they're static functions, they don't have a $this pointer, the function being called cannot suddenly be a different function (as can be the case when overriding a non-static member function). Test script: --------------- <?php class A { public static function get($a) {} } class B extends A { public static function get($a, $b) {} } Expected result: ---------------- No warnings should be emitted Actual result: -------------- Warning: Declaration of B::get($a, $b) should be compatible with A::get($a) in php shell code on line 1 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72401&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72401&r=mysqlcfg
