note 74945 added to language.oop5.overloading

While playing a bit with the __call magic method I found you can not emulate implementing methods of an interface as you might think: <? class Iteratable implements Iterator { public function __call($funcname) { if(in_array($funcname, array('current', 'next', /*...*/)) { //Redirect the call or perform the actual action } } } ?> Using this code you'll get a "class Iteratable contains abstract methods ..." fatal error message. You'll ALWAYS have to implement those routines by hand. ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 217.93.220.184 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74945 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74945/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74945/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74945/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74945/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74945/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74945/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74945 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74945 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
