#41129 [NEW]: static method in interface

From: sander at snapworks dot nl Operating system: linux 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 PHP version: 5.2.2RC1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: static method in interface Description: ------------ PHP doesn't allow static methods in interfaces to have a body. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php interface SomeInterface { static public function doSomething() { } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- A blank page indicating non-failure :) Static methods in interfaces definitely should be allowed to have a body. Maybe it's not a common practise, but it's at times convenient. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Interface function SomeInterface::doSomething() cannot contain body in /var/www/html/workspace/test.php on line 4 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41129&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41129&r=mysqlcfg
