"It's not a bug - it's a feature" :-) Actually, it is a documentation issue and I'll comment it. May I convert it to a feature request? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-17 07:57:27] tony2001@php.net It doesn't depend on SPL, that happens with all interfaces and it's expected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-17 07:05:19] helly@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-17 01:36:33] public at grik dot net Description: ------------ I am not sure already what is it related to, but it's getting interesting :) The engine does not recognise the class that implements the ArrayAccess interface as declared in the code written before the class declaration is placed. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php var_dump(class_exists('validatorCheck')); class validatorCheck implements ArrayAccess { function offsetGet($key){} function offsetSet($key, $value) {} function offsetUnset($key) {} function offsetExists($offset) {} //class end } var_dump(class_exists('validatorCheck')); ?> Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) bool(true) Actual result: -------------- bool(false) bool(true) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38121&edit=1
