#31420 [NEW]: Confusing error message (to me)

From: info at rhalff dot com Operating system: linux PHP version: 5.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Bug description: Confusing error message (to me) Description: ------------ This is not a bug in php itself, but the error message is confusing. It tells me to make class bie abstract. Where I think it should tell me I should implement method b. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php interface a { public function b(); } class bie implements a { } new bie; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Class bie contains 1 abstract methods and must therefore be declared abstract (a::b) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Class bie should implement method b from interface a in /usr/src/test.php on line 16 or something like that. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31420&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31420&r=mysqlcfg
