#33902 [NEW]: Type hinting incorrect behavior

From: sveta at microbecal dot com Operating system: FreeBSD, WindowsXP PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Type hinting incorrect behavior Description: ------------ In my example type hinting in method foo() in child class is incompatible with same method in parent class. But it still working with E_STRICT. Reproduce code: --------------- error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); class A {} abstract class B { protected $bar; public function foo($bar) { $this->bar = $bar; echo "some\n"; return $this; } } class C extends B { public function foo(A $bar) { $this->bar = $bar; echo "not expected\n"; return $this; } } $c = new C; $c->foo(new A); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Declaration of C::foo() must be compatible with that of B::foo() Actual result: -------------- not expected -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33902&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33902&r=mysqlcfg
