Doc #52716 [NEW]: Interface difference between 5.2.6 and 5.3.2

From: Operating system: Kubuntu and Debian PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Interface difference between 5.2.6 and 5.3.2 Description: ------------ PHP versions: 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 5.2.6-1+lenny9 There isn't mentioned a difference between 5.2 and 5.3 in interface behavior. In 5.2, if defined class/method has default values, interface MUST have default values. In 5.3, interface DOES NOT NEED TO have default values. Test script: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); interface DefaultsInterface { public function foobar($a = false, $b = false, $c = false); } interface ParamsInterface { public function fubar($a, $b, $c); } class WorksFine implements DefaultsInterface { public function foobar($a = true, $b = false, $c = true) {} } class DiesOnFiveTwo implements ParamsInterface { public function fubar($a = true, $b = false, $c = true) {} } $a = new WorksFine(); $b = new DiesOnFiveTwo(); var_dump($a, $b); Expected result: ---------------- I expect the documentation to mention the difference. Actual result: -------------- 5.3 result: object(WorksFine)[1] object(DiesOnFiveTwo)[2] 5.2 result: Fatal error: Declaration of DiesOnFiveTwo::fubar() must be compatible with that of ParamsInterface::fubar() in /var/www/dev.piklio.com/httpdocs/faces.php on line 17 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52716&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52716&r=mysqlcfg
