Description: ------------ If a namespaced class extends a non-namespaced abstract class, typehinted method parameters are not checked correctly by the interpreter. The code sample shows this best, but basically the child class implementing the abstract methods isn't correctly checking how namespaces will apply to typehinted parameters as they were declared in the base class. While the code aesthetically looks the same, the parser (as expected) interprets the typehints in the namespaced class to be based on the current namespace when not explicity specified, but this unintentionally changes the signature of the methods from that of the abstract class. Test script: --------------- ========================base.php <?php class Payment {} abstract class CreditCardProcessor { abstract function AuthorizePayment(Payment $p); } ========================run.php <?php namespace processors\credit_card; require_once 'base.php'; class ipc extends \CreditCardProcessor { function AuthorizePayment(Payment $p) { } } $p = new \Payment; $ipc = new ipc; $ipc->AuthorizePayment($p); // note that if processors\credit_card\ipc::AuthorizePayment() is declared as (\Payment $p) instead of (Payment $p), everything behaves as expected since the base class is actually expecting a \Payment object Expected result: ---------------- PHP Fatal error: Declaration of processors\credit_card\ipc::AuthorizePayment() must be compatible with that of CreditCardProcessor::AuthorizePayment() in /Users/eric/dev/run.php on line 5 Actual result: -------------- PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to processors\credit_card\ipc::AuthorizePayment() must be an instance of processors\credit_card\Payment_Model, instance of Payment_Model given, called in /Users/eric/dev/run.php on line 12 and defined in /Users/eric/dev/run.php on line 6 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62441&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62441&r=mysqlcfg
