Trying to write a singleton interface:
interface Singleton {
// Disallow public construction
protected function __construct();
public static function getInstance();
}
I got an error saying I was not allowed to declare the constructor
protected - I should either use public or omit it.
Why can't I instruct Singleton-classes to use protected constructors?
Is this expected behavior or may I file a bug report?

All interface methods must be public - that's the point behind interfaces.

Hello Marcus,
Can abstract methods be protected?
