Neither should other methods follow this. What if I want to add a non-default parameter to an overriden method? <?php class Foo { function connect($server) { } } class Bar extends Foo { function connect($server, $port) { } } ?> I see where the problem comes from: zend_do_perform_implementation_check() is called from do_inherit_method_check() (both in zend_compile.c) which in turn is called for inheritance *and* for interfaces. The behaviour is fully desirable when implementing interfaces but not for regular inheritance. - Timm -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
