Oh, I'm sorry, perhaps I should have said parse time-- either way PHP does compile an internal bytecode so compile-time is not incorrect. Obviously interface errors are detected when the script is parsed NOT when the code itself is run. if PHP can check method definition compliance when the script is parsed, surely it can check property definition compliance also.
