Ok, thank you for the support. Since in other languages (such as C++ or Java) it's possible to overload a defined parent class method, I'm proposing to emphasize the fact that in PHP there is no way to do this kind of overload (eventually you could add this notice in language.oop5.overloading.html). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-16 07:58:06] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php __call() is only called for undefined methods, DoSomething() is defined in your class. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-15 09:30:27] alessio dot bazzica at gmail dot com Sorry, maybe I didn't explain the problem clearly. Sure child classes inherit parent's methods but my problem is another. I need to overload ParentClass::DoSomething() so I defined ChildClass::__call($method, $args) to call ChildClass::DoSomething_OVERLOAD() instead of ChildClass::DoSomething() (if $method is 'DoSomething'). It seems that PHP invoke DoSomething() before __call() on child class. In this case it is ALWAYS impossible to overload a parent method. My question is: "PHP denies parent method overloading or this could be a bug???". Thank you, Alessio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-14 20:52:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Childs DO inherit parent's methods. No bug here, this is expected and well documented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-14 20:31:49] alessio dot bazzica at gmail dot com Please download a zip file containing my test case script at http://webapp.altervista.org/php_ovrldext_test.zip. Recently I tried to run the script on other enviroments and there is the same problem.
