note 74058 added to language.oop5.final

Note that you cannot ovverride final methods even if they are defined as private in parent class. Thus, the following example: <?php class parentClass { final private function someMethod() { } } class childClass extends parentClass { private function someMethod() { } } ?> dies with error "Fatal error: Cannot override final method parentClass::someMethod() in ***.php on line 7" Such behaviour looks slight unexpected because in child class we cannot know, which private methods exists in a parent class and vice versa. So, remember that if you defined a private static method, you cannot place method with the same name in child class. ---- Server IP: 195.222.164.18 Probable Submitter: 213.134.196.50 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.final.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74058 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74058/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74058/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74058/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74058/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74058/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74058/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74058 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74058 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
