Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- I can't find anything in the PHP manual about this, but the new-ish E_STRICT error reporting will complain if an inherited class overrides a static method with a different call signature (usually a parameter list). Ironically, it seems to only be a problem of 'coding style' because the code works correctly and has done for quite a few versions. The exact error is "Strict Standards: Declaration of [child-class]::[method]() should be compatible with that of [parent-class]::[method]()". So if you must code with E_STRICT enabled, you need to rename the method name. Google shows that this is biting *a lot* of people. (Bugs have been filed, but there has been no response yet.)
