 [2014-11-17 19:06 UTC] someone dot wanted dot to dot be dot unknown at gmail dot com
Description:
------------
My code class A, that defined abstract method `method` with one argument.
After that class B extends A. In this place I can not extend signature of `method` (for example, add new required arguments).
Code is following.
That's strange and non-intuitive behavior.
This bug is appearing on PHP 5.0.0 - 5.6.3.

Test script:
---------------
abstract class A {
    abstract function method($a);
}

abstract class B extends A {
    abstract function method($a, $b);
}

Expected result:
----------------
none printable result

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Can't inherit abstract function A::method() (previously declared abstract in B) in ...

I saw previously reported bugs, but this is NOT about inheriting method in interfaces, but in classes. It is not fix for now.

This will certainly not be allowed, as it violates LSP. I'm closing this as a duplicate of bug #63384 to track the unhelpful error message (it should be complaining about the signature mismatch instead).
