Fixes doc bug #65246 (Discrepancy between documentation and actual workings). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-11 19:52:26] bernardo at thebigb dot nl Description: ------------ The actual PHP version I am using is PHP 5.4.4-14+deb7u2. The issue is regarding this doc page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.interfaces.php More specifically the statement: "Note: A class cannot implement two interfaces that share function names, since it would cause ambiguity." This statement is incorrect, as I have discovered in my PHP environment that the test below executes without errors or warnings. I tracked the change in the documented behavior down to the following commit: https://github.com/php/php- src/commit/31ef559712dae57046b6377f07634ad57f9d88cf#Zend/zend_compile.c That would mean that the note is not relevant anymore since php-5.3.9. Test script: --------------- interface Foo { public function sameMethod(); } interface Bar { public function sameMethod(); } class Baz implements Foo, Bar { public function sameMethod() { echo 'Something'; } } $obj = new Baz(); $obj->sameMethod(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65246&edit=1
