Whath's the most strange is, that you can simply "hack" this by implementing each interface at different inheritance level. (it's in fact PHP 5.3.2 issue, but I didn't see it fixed in PHP 5.3.3) Test script: --------------- first case: -- interface Foo { public function getID(); } interface Bar { public function getID(); } class A implements Foo, Bar { public function getID() { return 1; } } second case: -- interface Foo { public function getID(); } interface Bar { public function getID(); } class A implements Foo { public function getID() { return 1; } } class B implements Bar { } third case: -- interface Foo { public function getID(); } interface Bar { public function getID(); } class A implements Foo { public function getID() { return 1; } } class B implements Bar { public function getID() { return parent::getID(); } } Expected result: ---------------- Nothing at output, but all of them compile. Actual result: -------------- first case: Fatal error: Can't inherit abstract function Bar::getID() (previously declared abstract in Foo) in Command line code on line 1 second case: Fatal error: Can't inherit abstract function Bar::getID() (previously declared abstract in Foo) in Command line code on line 1 third case: worked fine ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52730&edit=1
