What's the difference? class Y extends X implements InterfaceY { use TraitY; public function y(): string { } } Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-01-19 21:18:19] requinix@php.net It is not "well defined": X's y() must also have the string return type declaration to be compatible. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/return_types https://3v4l.org/lG7t4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-01-19 19:16:31] krzysiekpiasecki at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Interface method override inherited method and implemented in a trait causes fatal error Test script: --------------- interface InterfaceY { public function y(): string; } trait TraitY { public function y(): string { } } class X { public function y() { } } class Y extends X implements InterfaceY { use TraitY; } Expected result: ---------------- No fatal error.
