Description:
------------
When write two methods with same name in one class PHP doesn't produce any error. It just silently stops processing on include

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

class ClassName
{
    public function method()
    {
        echo 1;
    }
    
    public function method()
    {
        echo 1;
    }
}

echo 2;

Expected result:
----------------
Some compiler or interpreter error

Actual result:
--------------
Nothing

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

Please enable error reporting in your server, then you get a "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ClassName::method()". Setting this in the script doesn'T work as the error is generated before the script executes.

Ok.
Maybe I wrote bad example.

I have next options in php.ini:

error_reporting  =  E_ALL | E_STRICT
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
log_errors = On

and it still produce no output (in Apache's error.log or browser window). First time I saw this thing when use include_once to other file. And PHP silently stops running on include class with duplicate methods.

verify, using phpinfo(), that you're editing the correct php.ini and are not overwriting the settings somewhere.
