Description: ------------ While I know it should not be possible to have a trait extend another trait, the error message is confusing, stating that you are trying to extend a class. I understand that "use" is the correct answer to the problem the script is trying to solve. Test script: --------------- <?php trait Foo { } trait Bar extends Foo { } Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: A trait (Bar) cannot extend a trait (Foo) in ... Better yet: Fatal error: A trait (Bar) cannot extend a trait (Foo), use "use" instead in ... or some such. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: A trait (Bar) cannot extend a class in ... -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60911&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60911&r=mysqlcfg
