Description:
------------
Hello,

I'm creating an extended DateTime for my framework. The test script below gives "E_STRICT: Declaration of melt\core\DateTime::createFromFormat() should be compatible with that of DateTime::createFromFormat()" even though it's declared exactly as documented.

Also removing all the arguments what so ever doesn't make this problem go away so it's impossible to prototype DateTime::createFromFormat without getting this error.


Test script:
---------------
<?php namespace melt\core;

class DateTime extends \DateTime {
    public static function createFromFormat($format, $time, DateTimeZone $timezone = null) {
        return new DateTime(parent::createFromFormat($format, $time, $timezone));
    }
}


Expected result:
----------------
The class being declared as it should.

Actual result:
--------------
E_STRICT: Declaration of melt\core\DateTime::createFromFormat() should be compatible with that of DateTime::createFromFormat()

Here is my temporary workaround:

The method signature is in fact :

createFromFormat($format, $time, $timezone = null);

Assign this to derick to confirm that we need to change the documentation to 
reflect the real method signature (or the opposit ?)

Reopening as the patch was reverted in PHP 7.0 because of massive user code breach. See discussion on https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/8e19705a93d785cd1ff8ba3a69699b00169fea47 .

Thanks.

Perhaps I'm not really getting what the issue is about: But it was possible since 5.3 to extend createFromFormat() without issue[1]. So prototyping DateTime::createFromFormat is possible without getting the error.

I'm therefore closing this
