Declaration of App\Mailer\UserMailer::reset($user) should be compatible with Cake\Mailer\Mailer::reset() [APP/Mailer/UserMailer.php, line 9]

This question is just for me to understand what I did wrong

First Case (throws a notice):
In my UsersController I have

$this->getMailer(‘User’)->send(‘reset’, [$user]);

and in my
Usermailer.php i have:

public function reset($user)
{
  debug($user);
  die();

}

This throws an error

Declaration of App\Mailer\UserMailer::reset($user) should be compatible with Cake\Mailer\Mailer::reset() [APP/Mailer/UserMailer.php, line 9]

Second case (working)
In my UsersController I have

$this->getMailer(‘User’)->send(‘resetpassword’, [$user]);

and in my
Usermailer.php i have:

public function resetpassword($user)
{
  debug($user);
  die();

}

Why do I get the notice in the first case?

Can someone give me a hint or a link for further reading?

That should have all the details you need to solve this. You’ve created a class that extends another class, and you’ve created a function in that class with a signature that doesn’t exactly match the function of the same name in the base class. It’s told you exactly what classes to look at.
