ID: 32379 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: freebsd at dds dot nl Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request -Operating System: FreeBSD +Operating System: * -PHP Version: 5.0.3 +PHP Version: 5.* New Comment:
PHP is loosely typed. What you request would change the nature of PHP completley. Thus this will never happen. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-20 23:05:33] freebsd at dds dot nl My email is wrong it should be freebsd at akruijff dot nl. It seems I can nott change this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-20 23:03:18] freebsd at dds dot nl If this isn't a bug I would like it to become a feature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-20 00:55:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Type hints don\'t check what you are doing with your object, they just help you to know what you have... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-20 00:40:59] freebsd at dds dot nl Description: ------------ Type hinting doesn't prevent you from calling functions of children that are not defined in the interface or (abstract) class. This mean you could call a function of object x, then create a new class (y) that doesn't implement this function, resulting in an error later on. Basicaly the principle of encapsulation (on class level) isn't enforced. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php interface X { public function fa(); } class Y implements X { public function fa() {} public function fb() { echo "no error / warning?"; } } function f(X $y) { $y->fb(); } f(new Y()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- An error (or at least a warning). Actual result: -------------- n/a ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32379&edit=1
