This didn't solve the problem. Each abstract class must check if it's
an instantiation of sth. is itself ...
Supporting an "abstract" feature like every OO-language would make it
much easier.
Of couse, since it is not available I use constructs like shown.
I didn't need help to find such constructs, I want suggest adding the
functionality for abstract methods.
I accept that in ZE2 no private methods are available. I even accept
that there's neither operator overloading nor multiple inheritation. And
even if I miss that most: that there will no access sections like in
Object Pascal or C++ (private/protected/public[/published]) and friend
declaration.
I just want suggest adding abstract feature, because that could make
many things more OO-like and much easier to maintain...
But thanks for the suggestions ...
Greetings,
Jens

I can give a more complex example, if you want, but it's not ok to die
in constructor of an abstract class, cause the main logic could be
implemented in this class and it needs to be derived cause for helper
functions...
An example is a cache control class which is able to access cached
objects through it real name and is either able to store in filesystem
or in database.

Hi,
does PHP4 with the ZE2 supports abstract function like Delphi or C++?
That would be very useful for class development, cause we can avoid
testing if a class is abstract if an abstract class couldn't be
instantiated?
Syntax could be like in C++
class X
{
X(){}
int y() = 0;
}
or little bit more like pascal
class X
{
X(){} // PHP
function x(); abstract;
}
or
class X
{
X(){} // PHP
abstract function x();
}
Greetings,
Jens
