From: Operating system: GNU/Linux PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Overriding method type hint with child interface raises strict standards
Description: ------------ When using an interface for type hinting, PHP raises a strict standards warning if an overriding method uses an interface that implements the type hint. In the example below, ITwo implements IOne and method One::foo expects the first argument to implement IOne. Two extends One and expects the first argument to implement ITwo, which implements IOne. This should be allowed, much like it is allowed if the interfaces were simply classes. Test script: --------------- interface IOne {} interface ITwo extends IOne {} class One { public function foo( IOne $bla ) {} } class Two extends One { public function foo( ITwo $bla ) {} } class Test implements ITwo {} // yet, this does work var_dump( new Test instanceof IOne ); Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) Actual result: -------------- PHP Strict Standards: Declaration of Two::foo() should be compatible with that of One::foo() in test.php on line 25 Strict Standards: Declaration of Two::foo() should be compatible with that of One::foo() in test.php on line 25 bool(true) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51542&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51542&r=mysqlcfg
