#35832 [Fbk->Bgs]: interface from extended class conflicts with interface of parent class

ID: 35832 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: sp0n9e at gmail dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.1.1 New Comment: 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 function myMethod() is abstract in two different interfaces and a class can only implement the function once, hence the error.

Reproduce code: --------------- <?php interface gotsMyMethod { public function myMethod(); } class theparent implements gotsMyMethod { public function myMethod() { return "boo!"; } } interface iNeedsMyMethod { public function myMethod(); } class child extends theparent implements iNeedsMyMethod { } $child = new child(); echo $child->myMethod(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expect the code to run without any errors and output "boo!" Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Can't inherit abstract function iNeedsMyMethod::myMethod() (previously declared abstract in gotsMyMethod) in C:\www\test\bug.php on line 13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35832&edit=1
