note 56154 added to language.oop5.abstract

I strongly disagree with Richard. With PHP 5.0.4, this example works perfectly : abstract class base { public function base_function() { return $this->abs_fn(); } abstract protected function abs_fn(); } class super extends base { public function abs_fn() { return 3; } } $test = new super(); echo $test->base_function(); // will print "3" ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.abstract.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56154 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56154&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56154&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56154&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56154&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56154&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56154&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56154&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
