No. You cannot declare 2 functions with the same name, even if they have different footprint. You'll get a fatal error like this:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare Classname::methodname() in yourfile.php

But as I know in the PHP 7 you can't call static function from dynamic context, maybe we will have this declaration possibility after this changes?

Why? You can't call methods that require 1 parameter without the parameter, but that doesn't mean you can declare methods without and with one. So calling a certain footprint might be changing, declaring them still isn't in the books.
