From: Operating system: Ubuntu 9.10/RHEL 4 PHP version: 5.2.13 Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Abstract Method Not Overridden will Halt PHP.
Description: ------------ if you have an abstract class that gets overridden, if a method that is overridden has a default where the abstract doesn't, PHP just halts without any error, warning, or fatal. For small projects this is manageable, but when you have a large project, hunting down these things take a long time, such as a multi-thousand lined library loaded with abstract classes. These are the folowing versions of PHP that I've tested: $ php --version PHP 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.4 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.7 (cli) (built: Jan 6 2010 22:56:44) Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies and <This is a RHEL box.
