## #45453 — Stefan Marr — 2009-09-02T21:49:38+00:00

Dear internals:

Has been a while since we discussed whether the idea
of Traits fits into the programming model of PHP.

To encourage further discussion and experiments,
I managed to update some tests, to fix some bugs,
and eventually to use GitHub to make it accessible to you.


Please find a version for PHP 5.3 at:
   http://github.com/gron/php-src/tree/PHP_5_3-traits

and a version for PHP 6 at:
   http://github.com/gron/php-src/tree/PHP_6-traits


For a basic introduction please refer to
   * the RFC:
     http://wiki.php.net/rfc/horizontalreuse
   * the test cases available in the source folder under:
     Zend/tests/traits
and of course ask my directly or on this list.

Best regards
Stefan

To me as a user-end developer this proposal sounds well thought throught and
consistent. This time I understood everything that is written in RFC ;)
Sorry I can't test it right now, but I definetly will give it a try.
