Conflicting Method Signatures in PHP 8.1 Trait and Parent Class
This might be a silly question, but I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm currently working with an scenario in my PHP 8.1 application where I have a trait that defines a method with the same name as a method in the parent class, but with a different signature. The trait method is declared with an additional parameter, and I'm unsure how to properly override it in the child class without causing a conflict. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```php trait MyTrait { public function myMethod(string $param, int $extra): void { echo "Trait method called with param: $param and extra: $extra\n"; } } class ParentClass { public function myMethod(string $param): void { echo "Parent method called with param: $param\n"; } } class ChildClass extends ParentClass { use MyTrait; public function myMethod(string $param): void { // How do I call the trait method correctly here? } } ``` When I try to call `myMethod` from an instance of `ChildClass`, I get the following behavior: ``` Fatal behavior: want to override myMethod() from class ParentClass with signature myMethod(string $param) in ChildClass ``` I've tried various approaches to resolve this, including using the `parent::myMethod()` call, but I'm not sure how to correctly integrate the method from the trait without causing signature conflicts. Can someone explain how to handle this situation properly and allow both methods to coexist? Are there best practices for managing such conflicts with traits and parent classes in PHP? For context: I'm using Php on Windows. Am I missing something obvious? This is part of a larger service I'm building. Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is part of a larger mobile app I'm building. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
