Description:
------------
Incomplete implementations of extended classes don't cause an error message back to the user.


Test script:
---------------
<?php

class fooBase {
    abstract public function mustImplement() {
        // This must be implemented.
    }
    abstract public function youMustImplementThisToo() {
        // This must be implemented too.
    }
}

class foo extends fooBase {
    public function bar() {
        echo "Hello world\n" ;
    }
}

echo "Made it here... That makes sense.\n" ;
$c = new foo() ;
$c->bar() ;
echo "... but not here and without an error message or warning.\n" ;


Expected result:
----------------
Fatal Error: The foo class is an incomplete implementation of the fooBase class in foo.php.
Concrete implementation of mustImplement() is required
Concrete implementation of youMustImplementThisToo() is required

What doesn't make sense is this request.

So it fails without a message and not on where the error actually is...

I would have hoped that PHP would at least 
have given some indication of what was 
wrong. Using php -l doesn't report a problem 
either.  It would help a lot if that wasn't the 
case so we'd at least have some help tracking 
down the bug / oops.

Why do you say the request doesn't make 
sense?

I think I misunderstood your report. In any case, it is detached from the reality. Here's what happens:

C:\Users\Cataphract\Documents\php-src\Debug_TS>php -l
<?php

class fooBase {
    abstract public function mustImplement();
    abstract public function youMustImplementThisToo();
}

class foo extends fooBase {
    public function bar() {
        echo "Hello world\n" ;
    }
}

echo "Made it here... That makes sense.\n" ;
$c = new foo() ;
$c->bar() ;
echo "... but not here and without an error message or warning.\n" ;
^Z

Fatal error: Class fooBase contains 2 abstract methods and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (fooBase::mustImplement, fooBase::youMustImplementThisToo) in - on line 6
