See attached patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-31 10:01:57] g...@php.net The following patch has been added/updated: Patch Name: extend-error-msg.patch Revision: 1328004117 URL: https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=60911&patch=extend-error-msg.patch&revision=1328004117 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-31 04:02:34] larue...@php.net actually this is difficult to achieve, think about: a.php <?php trait Foo { } ?> index.php <?php require "a.php"; trait Bar extends Foo { } ?> then you can not get any info of Foo while parsing index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-28 05:23:52] da...@php.net 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60911&edit=1
