note 69766 added to language.oop5.static

This reacts to comment from michael at digitalgnosis dot removethis dot com from 16-Dec-2004 08:09 > Note that Base::Foo() may no longer be declared 'static' since static methods cannot > be overridden (this means it will trigger errors if error level includes E_STRICT.) In my test on Windows PHP Version 5.1.4 it seems that it *is possible* to override static method. This code works at my machine without producing E_STRICT error: <?php class Base { static function Foo ( $class = __CLASS__ ) { call_user_func(array($class,'Bar')); } } class Derived extends Base { static function Foo ( $class = __CLASS__ ) { parent::Foo($class); } static function Bar () { echo "Derived::Bar()"; } } Derived::Foo(); // This time it works. ?> ---- Server IP: 147.32.160.17 Probable Submitter: 217.11.230.42 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69766 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69766/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69766/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69766/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69766/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69766/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69766/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69766 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69766 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
