Zend Framework - Cannot override final method Exception

[ilnli]

I'm running a script which uses zend frameword, but it show me a blank page and I keep on getting this error:

 

[Thu Jul 21 00:28:45 2011] [error] [client 86.8.113.177] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot override final method Exception::__clone() in /var/www/vhosts/mailmegafiles.com/httpdocs/lib/Zend/Translate/Exception.php on line 35

Can anyone please help? I'll really appreciate that.

The error is pretty self explanitory. It looks however like the error is actually in the Exception.php file which is odd. Has this Zend istall been hacked on much? What is on and around lines 35?

This is a new install so I don't think it's hacked, following is on line 35:

    35 class Zend_Translate_Exception extends Zend_Exception
     36 {
     37 }

 

Thanks in advance.

Zend_Exception extends SPL Exception, where cloning is finalized, if your application is trying to override it you'll get such an error.

 

class My_Exception extends Zend_Translate_Exception {

private function __clone()
{
	// will not work
}

}

 

The PHP error is just pointing out this fact, you're going to have to hunt down the real problem where someone is doing something wrong.  Nothing is wrong with Zend its just being misused.
