note 47759 added to language.oop5.interfaces

You can also specify class constants in interfaces as well (similar to specifying 'public static final' fields in Java interfaces): <?php interface FooBar { const SOME_CONSTANT = 'I am an interface constant'; public function doStuff(); } ?> Then you can access the constant by referring to the interface name, or an implementing class, (again similar to Java) e.g.: <?php class Baz implements FooBar { //.... } print Baz::SOME_CONSTANT; print FooBar::SOME_CONSTANT; ?> Both of the last print statements will output the same thing: the value of FooBar::SOME_CONSTANT ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.interfaces.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47759 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47759&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47759&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47759&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47759&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47759&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47759&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47759&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
