From: Operating system: Windows XP SP3 PHP version: 5.2SVN-2010-03-29 (snap) Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Abstract __construct constructor argument list not enforced
Description: ------------ PHP Version = 5.2.6.6 I cannot seem to enforce a class's __construct argument list by defining an abstract constructor in the base class. This can, however, be achieved as expected by using an object interface. This was mistakenly reported as not working for interfaces either in bug #43557 (closed). Test script: --------------- class Type1 {} //for demo purposes class Type2 {} //for demo purposes abstract class BaseClass { abstract public function __construct(Type1 $foo, Type2 $bar); } class ExtendedClass extends BaseClass { public function __construct() { //expected - fatal error as argument list doesn't match //actually happens - nothing, script continues as normal } } interface SomeInterface { public function __construct(Type1 $foo, Type2 $bar); } class InterfacedClass implements SomeInterface { public function __construct() { //generates fatal error as expected } } Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error when declaring ExtendedClass and InterfacedClass as abstract and concrete method signatures are different. Actual result: -------------- Only a fatal error when declaring InterfacedClass, no error when declaring ExtendedClass. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51421&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51421&r=mysqlcfg
