Overriding/Overloading in PHP. Help please.

[fireblade]

I have 2 classes like below.

PHP Code:

class GlobalUsersBO {
  protected function loadRow($id = 0, $globalUserType = "") {
    // ....
    return $row;
  }
}
class CMSUsersBO extends GlobalUsersBO{
  public function loadRow($id = 0){
    // .....
    return GlobalUsersBO::loadRow($id, $varss);
  }
}


This codes run perfectly if I have disable E_STRICT in error reporting. Once I enable E_STRICT, I can get a mesage from webserver

Strict Standards: Declaration of CMSUsersBO::loadRow() should be compatible with that of GlobalUsersBO::loadRow() in /srv/www/htdocs/smartcms/Modules/CMSUsersBO.php on line 211

I searched through the PHP manual. Still I could not get a clear understanding on it. Any one can help me to resolve this?

You assign two arguments in the first, and you will need to do the same in the second one. If you want dynamic arguments, you will need to use the func_x_arg(s) functions instead, and don't assign any arguments any where. If you do, you won't be able to assign arguments as references.

I also don't think you can declare a protected function as global. You will need to choose. Either protected in both cases, or global.

You can use a weaker access level when overriding methods, just not a stronger one.

Thank you guys, It is working fine once I added make the variable count of subclass function to 2.
Greate!
