There seems to be a regression in interface method declaration compatibility checking. The below test script only fails on 7.0.6. It also only fails if the $baz is type hinted as array. Test script: --------------- <?php interface Foo { public function bar(array $baz = null); } class Hello implements Foo { public function bar(array $baz = []) { } } Expected result: ---------------- N/A Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Declaration of Hello::bar(array $baz = Array) must be compatible with Foo::bar(array $baz = NULL) in /in/VhEtd on line 7 Process exited with code 255. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72119&edit=1
