Hi,

Jon is correct and I actually prefer using interfaces to set standards in the code base over abstract or concrete classes … more flexible.

If any of you are not sure what interfaces are:

Designing applications with interfaces also helps. Essentially, you specify the implementation of the class in a separate file that is implemented in your concrete class. Interfaces work really well in C# / Java due to the strong-typed nature of the language, however that doesn’t mean that PHP developers should be sloppy. If anything, we should be more rigorous in our development practices.
