From: php dot net-bug at spamhereplease dot com Operating system: * PHP version: 5.4.11 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Trait with optional parameters cannot implement Interface
Description: ------------ Implementing an interface via a trait doesn't appear to allow optional parameters like implementing via a class. That is, I can add optional parameters to the implementation method in a class and it still satisfies the interface. Adding optional parameters via a trait, however, ends as a fatal 'compatibility' error. It appears the expected behavior was working in at least 5.4.6, or (unlikely) that it works in a linux version but not a windows one. (Bug #63177 may be indirectly related.) Test script: --------------- //file testWorks.php interface IStringable { public function toString(); } class MyTestWorks implements IStringable { public function toString($a = '', $b = NULL) { echo "My Test is instantiated", PHP_EOL; } } $obj = new MyTestWorks(); $obj->toString(); //file testBroken.php interface IStringable { public function toString(); } trait TStringable { public function toString($a = '', $b = NULL) { echo "My Test is instantiated", PHP_EOL; } } class MyTestWorks implements IStringable{ use TStringable; } $obj = new MyTestWorks(); $obj->toString(); Expected result: ---------------- >php testWorks.php My Test is instantiated >php testBroken.php My Test is instantiated (This is the output from php 5.4.6 [linux]) Actual result: -------------- >php testWorks.php My Test is instantiated >php testBroken.php PHP Fatal error: Declaration of TStringable::toString($a = '', $b = NULL) must be compatible with IStringable::toString() in [...]\testBroken.php on line 17 (This is the output from php 5.4.11 [windows]) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64079&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64079&r=mysqlcfg
