This issue and a few others dealing with interfaces have been solved in PHP 5.4RC2 & 5.3.9RC2.

See also bug #46705 for other suggestions on how to improve the way interfaces currently work in
PHP.

p.s. is really the error message formulation "(previously declared abstract in IHuman)"
correct?

Description:
------------
I think this fatal error is needless.
Interface implementors can append optional parameter:
interface IAnimal
{
function speak();
}
class Dog implements IAnimal
{
function speak($optional = NULL)
{
echo 'Bark!';
}
}
class Labrador extends Dog
{
function speak($optional = NULL, $anotherOptinal = NULL)
{
...
}
}
That's correct behaviour. But the same behaviour is unallowed for interface extenders.
Reproduce code:
---------------
interface IAnimal
{
function speak();
}
interface IHuman extends IAnimal
{
function speak($language = NULL);
}
Expected result:
----------------
no error
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Can't inherit abstract function IAnimal::speak() (previously declared abstract in
IHuman)
