From: david at grudl dot com Operating system: irrelevant PHP version: 5.3CVS-2008-07-23 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Extending interfaces
Description: ------------ I think this fatal error is needless. Interface implementors can append optional parameter: interface IAnimal { function speak(); } class Dog implements IAnimal { function speak($optional = NULL) { echo 'Bark!'; } } class Labrador extends Dog { function speak($optional = NULL, $anotherOptinal = NULL) { ... } } That's correct behaviour. But the same behaviour is unallowed for interface extenders. Reproduce code: --------------- interface IAnimal { function speak(); } interface IHuman extends IAnimal { function speak($language = NULL); } Expected result: ---------------- no error Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Can't inherit abstract function IAnimal::speak() (previously declared abstract in IHuman) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45601&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45601&r=mysqlcfg
