From: jmmolina@ifrance.com Operating system: Windows PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: PHP global function and class method names conflict It seems that class methods are not really part of the class. The scope of a method definition is global not local to the class. I have tried the following: class CMyClass { function Print () { } } It doesn't work because the PHP parser thinks that the "Print" method is the "print" PHP global function. I have tried to force scope: class CMyClass { function CMyClass::Print () { } } But it doesn't work. The only solution I found is to use an other name for my method, even if it really prints something. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=14178&edit=1
