First off, I wish to extend my thanks to you guys for the great efforts that you put forth. Your time and energy have served me greatly. I beleive I have spotted two typos so I thought I would let you know.

1.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/langua....visibility.php

Bottom of the page:
"Note: The use PHP 4 use of declaring ..."

I beleive that's an extra use .. or the whole thing could be ... "The PHP 4 practice of declaring ..."

2.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php

I have the feeling that the term overriding is meant and not overloading.

"The inherited methods and members can be overloaded, unless the parent class has defined a method as final, by redeclaring them within the same name defined in the parent class. It is possible to access the overloaded method or members by referencing them with parent::"

Nope, overloading refers to redeclaring the function with different
parameters. Overriding would refer to overriding the method but keeping the
parameters the same. I'm not 100% on this, perhaps the other doc guys know
better.

Thanks for your kind words, and for pointing out the errors,
Aidan
