Is it possible to have an interface that has private / protected methods?

Question

Is it possible in PHP 5 to have an interface that has private / protected methods?

Right now I have:

interface iService
{
    private method1();
}
         


        

Answer 1

The PHP manual page about interfaces explicitly states:

All methods declared in an interface must be public; this is the nature of an interface.

I guess this explains the error you are getting ;-)
