<title>Class Abstraction</title>
<para>
PHP 5 introduces abstract classes and methods. Classes defined as
abstract may not be instantiated, and any class that
contains at least one abstract method must also be abstract. Methods
defined as abstract simply declare the method's signature - they cannot
define the implementation.
</para>
<para>
When inheriting from an abstract class, all methods marked abstract in
the parent's class declaration must be defined by the child; additionally,
these methods must be defined with the same (or a less restricted)
<link linkend="language.oop5.visibility">visibility</link>. For example,
if the abstract method is defined as protected, the function implementation
must be defined as either protected or public, but not private. Furthermore
the signatures of the methods must match, i.e. the type hints and the number
of required arguments must be the same. For example, if the child class
defines an optional argument, where the abstract method's signature does
not, there is no conflict in the signature. This also applies to constructors
as of PHP 5.4. Before 5.4 constructor signatures could differ.
