PHP does not report multiply-defined errors for class member functions. For example, the following script below, when executed, only outputs "two", with no errors.

Instead, PHP should be giving error messages since the function bar has been defined multiple times.

<?
class foo
{
        function bar() {echo "one\n";}
        function bar() {echo "two\n";}
}

$f = new foo();
$f->bar();

I'm suspending this for now, this issue is not easily solved unfortunately. But we keep this on the todo list for future releases.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.


I get this error with your script:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bar() in /home/jani/t.php on line 6
/home/jani/t.php(6) : Fatal error - Cannot redeclare bar()

So it seems to be fixed.
