Subject: php5 interfaces...
From: tony@tonybibbs.com (Tony Bibbs)

In PHP5 I noticed this behaviou with interfaces.  If I have an interface 
with a method that takes no paramaters, an implementing class for that 
interfaces can have the same method take parameters...is that right?  
For example:

interface foo {
    public function myFunction();
}

class foobar implements foo {
   public function myFunction($someText)
  {
      echo $someText;
   }
}

$myObj = new foobar();
$myObj->myFunction('Testing, 1, 2, 3');

This code works.  To me it should flag an error or, at least a warning, 
no?  I can see the flexibility of allowing this as it provides a kind-of 
form of overloading but I want to make sure this behaves as intended 
before I make use of this feature/bug.
