Note Submitter: 3gon ---- Thanx well 4 all these impressions! In my opinion the thing is clear like this: <?php abstract class AbstractClassForAlBundy { //Question of Definition protected $priority; protected $message = array('','','','',''); protected $environment; protected $syslogKind; protected $config; protected $global; protected $classes; protected $super; protected $getdata; public function __construct(array &$config) { $this->config = $config; } public function getValue($priority,$syslogKind, $getdata) { $this->priority = $priority; $this->syslogKind = $syslogKind; $this->getdata = $getdata; $this->example = $exaMPLE; } // Force Extending class to define these methods abstract protected function CheckGet(Environment &$environment); abstract protected function DecryptGet(Environment &$environment, $example); abstract protected function ShowSite(Environment &$environment, $id); abstract protected function CheckPost(Environment &$environment); abstract protected function EncryptPost(Environment &$environment, $example); abstract protected function LogEvents(Environment &$environment, $syslog); abstract protected function DBConnectWrite(Environment &$environment); abstract protected function DBRightsCheck(Environment &$environment, $config); abstract protected function ExportImportFunctions(Environment &$environment, $config); abstract protected function GoOnShowSite(&$class, $method,$args); /* COOOOL abstract protected function writeToDatabase(Environment &$environment); abstract protected function writeToSystem(Environment &$environment); abstract protected function writeToEmail(Environment &$environment); abstract protected function writeToMobile(Environment &$environment); abstract public function execute(&$class, $method, $args); */ protected function environment(Exception &$object) { $this->super =& new Environment($object, $this->config); $this->global = $this->super->env(); $this->global = $this->global['environment']; return $this->super; } public function __destruct() { unset($this); } } I´m not so strong at syntax, but Abstraction in PHP5 should use as an Environment-Translator. You have always to declare the abstract functions in child classes, so you can backtrace the way of data more easily in a diagram or something. If you use interfaces, it is more difficult to work with constant values, because the naming of variables in relation to an function coulb be a bit more cryptic. A class definition is more variable, i think.
