recently, zhang and song [q. zhang, y. song, fixed point theory forgeneralized $varphi$-weak contractions,appl. math. lett. 22(2009) 75-78] proved a common fixed point theorem for two mapssatisfying generalized $varphi$-weak contractions. in this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem fora family of compatible maps. in fact, a new generalization of zhangand song's theorem is given.

a common fixed point result for weakly increasing mappings satisfying generalized contractive type of zhang in ordered metric spaces are derived.
