note 56345 added to language.oop5.static

Manual says that static members and methods cannot be redefined in subclasses. It seems that it's not completely true (at least with PHP 5.0.4 under Windows XP), as redefining static methods in subclasses is allowed, and works fine (i.e. without triggering errors even if error level includes E_STRICT). Here is an example : class Base { public static function foo() { return 'Foo...'; } } class Extended extends Base { public static function foo() { return 'Bar !!!'; } } echo Extended::foo(); // this prints 'Bar !!!' instead of 'Foo...' ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56345 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56345&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56345&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56345&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56345&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56345&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56345&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56345&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
