interfaces are, by definition, public.
Abstract classes are not the same as interfaces.

Description:
------------
I can't have an abstract class provide it's functions protected to it's
child classes, since I'm able to declare only public functions within
an interface.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
interface AnyClassInterface {
protected function doSomething ($sTest);
}
abstract class AnyClassAbstract {
protected function doSomething ($sTest) {
echo $sTest;
}
}
class AnyClass {
public funtion __construct() {
$this->doSomething ('Hello World');
}
}
$oAnyObject = new AnyClass();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
One should be able to declare a function in an interface to be
protected, so that classes extending the abstract class, which is
implementing the interface is able to provide it's functions only to
child-classes and to protect them from foreign classes.
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Access type for interface method
AnyClassInterface::doSomething() must be omitted or declared public in
D:\apache-webroot\test\testphp\php5.php on line 5
