note 77843 added to language.oop5.overloading

Small vocabulary note: This is *not* "overloading", this is "overriding". Overloading: Declaring a function multiple times with a different set of parameters like this: <?php function foo($a) { return $a; } function foo($a, $b) { return $a + $b; } echo foo(5); // Prints "5" echo foo(5, 2); // Prints "7" ?> Overriding: Replacing the parent class's method(s) with a new method by redeclaring it like this: <?php class foo { function new($args) { // Do something. } } class bar extends foo { function new($args) { // Do something different. } } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 168.103.189.249 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77843 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77843/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77843/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77843/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77843/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77843/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77843/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77843 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77843 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
