Why does PHP 5.2+ disallow abstract static class methods?
Why can't you call abstract functions from abstract classes in PHP?
I'm running this code on PHP 5.3.8:
abstract class Geometry
{
abstract public static function fromArray(array $array);
}
class Point extends Geometry
{
public static function fromArray(array $point)
{
return new self($point[0], $point[1]);
}
}
And receive the following error:
Strict Standards: Static function Geometry::fromArray() should not be abstract
- What's wrong with this approach?
- Any viable alternative to force concrete classes to implement this factory method?
Solution
Could you make Geometry an interface, and have Point implement it?
