I'm not talking about redeclaration, but methods & properties that doesn't exists in the parent class. Test script: --------------- class Alpha { public static function Render($object) { echo $foo->property; echo $object->method(); } } class Omega extends Alpha { protected $property = 'Property'; protected function method() { return 'Method'; } } Alpha::Render(new Omega()); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Cannot access protected property Omega::$property Fatal error: Call to protected method Omega::method() Actual result: -------------- Property Method ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74932&edit=1
