PHP can and PHP did allow changing parameters when overriding functions. And apart from pseudo-academical reasons nothing convincing was said why this should be changed. Nobody forces you to change any parameters if you don't want to ;-) Why can't we agree that people use classes in different ways (call it non-OO ways if you want) and restrain from forcing ones views onto everybody? PHP works well because it of the freedom it gives, not because of the limitations.
