## #4424 — Attila Strauss — 2003-09-07T20:50:26+00:00

Hi,

are there any plans about implementing the ability to provide throws for 
abstract classes?

Example:

---s.cut---

abstract class RDBMS_Connection_Abstract
{
    abstract public function connect() throws RDBMS_Connection_Exception;
}

class RDBMS_Connection extends RDBMS_Connection_Abstract
{
    public function connect()
    {
        echo 'implementing connect() without a "throw new 
RDBMS_Connection_Exception" should cause a PHP FATAL ERROR.';
    }
}

---e.cut---

So, any plans?

Thanks in Advance ...

Attila
