simulating object upcasting to an interface in PHP 4

In Java one is supposed to upcast an object to its interface whenever
appropriate:

MyInterface customers = new MySpecificClass ();

The idea is that if later one wants to change the specific
implementation one only has to change a few lines, possibly just the
one line above. Thus the code becomes more flexible.

Is it right to say that there is no way to do this in PHP? I've taken
to simulating the same by using one object as a mask that sets and
then uses another object:

myMaskObj = new MaskDatabase();

myMaskObj->setDbObj("Data baseObject");
myMaskObj->query("SELEC T * FROM content WHERE type='comments' ");

MaskDatabase has a method called "query" which simply passes the query
along to DatabaseObject which also has a method called query.

Other ideas?

Lets suppose I have an class called DatastoreSelect. It has a method called getNextRow(). This method is not abstract, it is fully implemented. It also has a method called setInfoToBeSought, which is abstract in the sense that it has no implementation. Now suppose I have an class called GetAllComments, which inherits from DatastoreSelect. GetAllComments does not have a method called getNextRow(). GetAllComments has a method called...

Hi, I know that it is illegal in C++ to have a static pure virtual method, but it seems something like this would be useful when the following 2 conditions hold: 1. You know that every one of your Derived classes will need to implement some method, but implement it differently, and that the base class cannot implement it. This is where pure virtual comes in.

Hi, Lets say I have an class called Base which is inherited by a class called Top. Now lets say I want to assign an object of type Base to an object of type Top, how can I do this so that all the members present in the Base object are assigned to the corresponding members in the Top object, with the remaining values set to null? Thanks for your help,

If I'm not mistaken, general OOP wisdom says that upcasting should usually be avoided if possible. I have a situation, however, where I can't think of a better way than upcasting for this specific solution. I was wondering if there exists a "standard" solution to this which avoids the upcasting and does it more cleanly. Assume that we have, for example, some kind of container/editing class named PrimitiveEditor which handles objects of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
