Inheriting/Overiding Methods

[sroughley]

In PHP, do subclass methods overide parent class methods of the same name? For example:

Class User {
  setPropertiesOnCreate(vars) {
    statements
  }
}

Class Admin extends User {
  setPropertiesOnCreate(vars) {
    different statements
  }
}

Will the setPropetiesOnCreate method in Admin overide the setPropertiesOnCreate method in User? If not, is there a way to implement abstract methods in PHP?

Regards.

Steve.

According to The book I've got on PHP (PHP and MySQL Web Development) when you extend a class, any functions that is created in the new class that has the same name as a function in the original class will overwrite that function

Nice one. Cheers.
