Is there someone thinking (or even working) on this issue? It is really important if you want to use different 3rd party components which provides interfaces you have to implement to use the components and there exists some methods _with the same signature_ more than once. In case of different signatures I can understand there would occur problems because PHP does not have an method overloading possibility yet. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-15 14:13:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED] FWIW, I agree; I think our interface support is pretty crappy because of this. I'm changing this to suspended status, because maybe one day it will appear, it's just not possible at the moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-15 13:57:10] jason at hybd dot net I know PHP != Java, but surely this sort of stuff should be documented? Most people will expect interfaces to work like Java interfaces or C++ "interfaces" (Pure virtual abstract methods), as many other languages seem to follow this behaviour. As I said this is debatable as it depends how you look at things, and likewise it is fairly easy to work round this issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-15 12:44:04] [EMAIL PROTECTED] PHP != Java ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-14 17:35:15] jason at hybd dot net Description: ------------ This is debateable if this is a bug or not. Personally, I don't regard it as a bug. Classes that implement >1 interface that share common methods raise fatal errors. Because of the abstract nature of interfaces, no error or warning should be rasied. I know PHP <> Java, but Java doesn't raise any errors, and PHP5's OO model is very close to Java's Reproduce code: --------------- interface FirstInterface { function execute(); } interface SecondInterface { function execute(); } class MyClass implements FirstInterface, SecondInterface { function execute() { echo "Hello World"; } } $obj = new MyClass(); $obj->execute(); Expected result: ---------------- Hello World Actual result: -------------- Can't inherit abstract function SecondInterface::execute() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33698&edit=1
