Re: [PHP-DEV] Interfaces in PHP

Did you guys re-read the discussion in the ZE2 archives as I suggested? In brief: class IFoo { function foo() {} } class IBar { function bar() {} } class C { delegatee $foo = new IFoo(); // "implements" IFoo by delegation delegatee $bar = new IBar(); // "implements" IBar by delegati
