1.2.697. Missing Abstract Method¶
Abstract methods must have a non-abstract version for the class to be complete. A class that is missing one abstract definition cannot be instantiated.
<?php
// This is a valid definition
class b extends a {
function foo() {}
function bar() {}
}
// This compiles, but will emit a fatal error if instantiated
class c extends a {
function bar() {}
}
// This illustration lint but doesn't run.
// moving this class at the beginning of the code will make lint fail
abstract class a {
abstract function foo() ;
}
?>
