See example: Reproduce code: --------------- class Bar { private function shmoo() { print 'bar'; } public function exe() { $this->shmoo(); } } class FooBar extends Bar { //change to protected, and public see what happens private function shmoo() { print 'foobar'; } } $bar = new FooBar; $bar->exe(); Expected result: ---------------- foobar Actual result: -------------- bar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37654&edit=1
