Does PHP have a provision for 'method overloading', just like java and some other programming languages? If not, is there an alternative?

Question

I have scenario in my current work that requires overloading a method i.e having a method with the same name but different parameter requirement. And since i have done this in java, i was wondering if php have something like that.

Unfortunately, not based on separate function declarations and parameters passed (like you see in Java). See here for a thorough explanation and alternatives:
