下面是PHP接口的要点

It is used to define required no of methods in class [if you want to load html then id and name is required so in this case interface include setID and setName]. Interface strictly force class to include all the methods define in it. You can only define method in interface with public accessibility. You can also extend interface like class. You can extend interface in php using extends keyword. Extend multiple interface. You can not implement 2 interfaces if both share function with same name. It will throw error.

示例代码:

interface test{
    public function A($i);
    public function B($j = 20);
}

class xyz implements test{
    public function A($a){
        echo "CLASS A Value is ".$a;
    }
    public function B($b){
        echo "CLASS B Value is ".$b;
    }
}
$x = new xyz();
echo $x->A(11);
echo "<br/>";
echo $x->B(10);

界面就像你的基因。

抽象类就像你实际的父母。

它们的目的是遗传的，但是在抽象类和接口的情况下，继承的是更具体的。

接口的存在不是作为类可以扩展的基础，而是作为所需函数的映射。

下面是一个不适合抽象类的接口的例子: 假设我有一个日历应用程序，它允许用户从外部源导入日历数据。我将编写类来处理导入每种类型的数据源(ical, rss, atom, json)，每个类都将实现一个公共接口，以确保它们都具有我的应用程序获取数据所需的公共方法。

<?php

interface ImportableFeed 
{
    public function getEvents();
}

Then when a user adds a new feed I can identify the type of feed it is and use the class developed for that type to import the data. Each class written to import data for a specific feed would have completely different code, there may otherwise be very few similarities between the classes outside of the fact that they are required to implement the interface that allows my application to consume them. If I were to use an abstract class, I could very easily ignore the fact that I have not overridden the getEvents() method which would then break my application in this instance whereas using an interface would not let my app run if ANY of the methods defined in the interface do not exist in the class that implemented it. My app doesn't have to care what class it uses to get data from a feed, only that the methods it needs to get that data are present.

To take this a step further, the interface proves to be extremely useful when I come back to my calendar app with the intent of adding another feed type. Using the ImportableFeed interface means I can continue adding more classes that import different feed types by simply adding new classes that implement this interface. This allows me to add tons of functionality without having to add unnecessarily bulk to my core application since my core application only relies on there being the public methods available that the interface requires so as long as my new feed import classes implement the ImportableFeed interface then I know I can just drop it in place and keep moving.

这只是一个非常简单的开始。然后，我可以创建另一个接口，所有日历类都需要实现该接口，该接口提供了更多特定于类处理的提要类型的功能。另一个很好的例子是验证提要类型的方法，等等。

This goes beyond the question but since I used the example above: Interfaces come with their own set of issues if used in this manner. I find myself needing to ensure the output that is returned from the methods implemented to match the interface and to achieve this I use an IDE that reads PHPDoc blocks and add the return type as a type hint in a PHPDoc block of the interface which will then translate to the concrete class that implements it. My classes that consume the data output from the classes that implement this interface will then at the very least know it's expecting an array returned in this example:

<?php
interface ImportableFeed 
{
    /**
     * @return array
     */
    public function getEvents();
}

没有太多空间来比较抽象类和接口。接口是简单的映射，在实现时要求类具有一组公共接口。

接口不仅仅是为了确保开发人员实现特定的方法。其思想是，因为这些类保证有特定的方法，即使不知道类的实际类型，也可以使用这些方法。例子:

interface Readable {
  String read();
}

List<Readable> readables; // dunno what these actually are, but we know they have read();
for(Readable reader : readables)
  System.out.println(reader.read());

在许多情况下，提供基类是没有意义的，不管是不是抽象的，因为实现变化很大，除了一些方法之外没有任何共同之处。

动态类型语言有“鸭子类型”的概念，你不需要接口;您可以自由地假设对象具有您正在对其调用的方法。在静态类型语言中，对象有一些方法(在我的例子中是read())，但没有实现接口，这种方法可以解决这个问题。

我不了解其他语言，界面的概念是什么。但对于PHP，我将尽力解释。耐心点，如果有帮助请评论。

接口就像“契约”一样工作，指定一组子类做什么，但不指定它们如何做。

规则

An Interface can't be instantiate. You can't implement any method in an interface,i.e. it only contains .signature of the method but not details(body). Interfaces can contain methods and/or constants, but no attributes. Interface constants have the same restrictions as class constants. Interface methods are implicitly abstract. Interfaces must not declare constructors or destructors, since these are implementation details on the class level. All the methods in an interface must have public visibility.

现在让我们举个例子。 假设我们有两个玩具:一个是狗，另一个是猫。

正如我们所知，狗叫，猫叫。这两者具有相同的说话方法，但具有不同的功能或实现。 假设我们给用户一个带有说话按钮的遥控器。

当用户按下说话按钮时，玩具必须说话，无论它是狗还是猫。

这是使用接口而不是抽象类的好情况，因为实现是不同的。 为什么?还记得

如果您需要通过添加一些非抽象方法来支持子类，则应该使用抽象类。否则，接口将是您的选择。

我们看到抽象类和接口的相似之处在于它们提供了必须在子类中实现的抽象方法。但是，二者仍有以下差异:

1.接口可以包含抽象方法和常量，但不能包含具体方法和变量。 2.接口中的所有方法都必须在公共可见性中 范围。 3.一个类可以实现多个接口，同时它可以继承 只来自一个抽象类。
