I'm experiencing the same problem. It's very difficult to discover the
missing method if PHP doesn't give any hint.
The message given for the first class that "implements" some interface
is complete and has IMHO all necessary information to the programmer.
But the message given for any subclasses is generic and doesn't tell
which methods are missing and why.

Description:
------------
When I try to instantiate a class which extends an abstract class but
without implemented all defined abstract functions, this class becomes
abstract too and fatal error message returned doesn't give any reason.
Then it is very difficult to find which abstract function is not
implemented as defined in the abstract parent class when there is a lot
of abstract functions to implement.
Is it possible to display a list of the missing function after the
actual error message ?
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
abstract class a
{
abstract function foo();
abstract function bar();
}
class b extends a
{
function foo() {
return "I am the foo function";
}
}
$obj = new b();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate class b, abstract function parent::bar
not implemented in /absolute/path/to/my/file/b.php on line 15
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate abstract class b in
/absolute/path/to/my/file/b.php on line 15
