i think can be useful make working abstract methods body in abstract classes
please read carefully ;) i hope you like it
thank you for your time

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

abstract class Base
{
      abstract protected function commonCheck()
      {
           echo("WOW! ");
      }
}

class Real extends Base
{
      // there I MUST implement the abstract method in all cases
      // the implementation can consists:
      // 1 - in one new procedure,
      // 2 - in parent method calling (used the abstract body like a model)
      // 3 - both
      protected function commonCheck()
      {
            parent::commonCheck();
            echo("IT IS WORKING!");
      }

the requested behavior can works with multiple abstract inheritance

abstract class One
{abstract function m(){echo("one ");}}
abstract class Two extends One
{abstract function m(){parent::m();echo("two ");}}
abstract class Three extends Two
{abstract function m(){parent::m();echo("three ");}}

class RealClass extends Three
{
     function m(){parent::m();echo("real implementation");}
}

You obviously don't know what abstract methods are about.

Learn OOP, please. This is what you want:

<?php

abstract class Base
{
      protected final function commonCheck()
      {
           echo("WOW! ");
           $this->customCheck();
      }

     protected abstract function customCheck();
}

class Real extends Base
{

      protected function customCheck()
      {
            echo("IT IS WORKING!");
      }
}

?>

To promote OOD, this issue should be closed as "won't fix"

dagguh has a point. Abstract functions are, well, abstract, so they can't specify an implementation ^^
