ID: 65809 User updated by: spam at krol dot me Reported by: spam at krol dot me Summary: interface, abstract static function Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related -PHP Version: Irrelevant +PHP Version: 5.3.15 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I changed PHP version as it IS revelant According to this http://php.net/manual/en/migration52.incompatible.php Dropped abstract static class functions. Due to an oversight, PHP 5.0.x and 5.1.x allowed abstract static functions in classes. As of PHP 5.2.x, only interfaces can have them. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-02 23:43:36] phpmpan at mpan dot pl Abstract static methods are allowed. Abstract static *constructors* aren't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-02 10:58:34] spam at krol dot me Description: ------------ abstract static function in class isn't allowed, but you can define static function in interface This leads to funny inconsistency where you can create abstract static function using interfaces Test script: --------------- //abstract class A { abstract static function a(); } //invalid interface I { static function i(); } //valid abstract class B implements I {} //valid //class C extends B{} // invalid //Fatal error: Class C contains 1 abstract method and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (I::i) in php shell code on line 1 class D extends B{ static function i(){echo "I have to be implemented"; } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65809&edit=1
