note 100149 added to language.oop5.final

The behaviour of FINAL is not as serious as you may think. A little explample: <?php class A { final private function method(){} } class B extends A { private function method(){} } ?> Normally you would expect some of the following will happen: - An error that final and private keyword cannot be used together - No error as the private visibility says, that a method/var/etc. is only visible within the same class But what happens is PHP is a little curios: "Cannot override final method A::method()" So its possible to deny method names in subclasses! Don't know if this is a good behavior, but maybe its useful for your purpose. ---- Server IP: 85.214.154.209 Probable Submitter: 92.50.88.251 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.final.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100149 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100149/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100149/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100149/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100149/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100149/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100149/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100149 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100149 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
