Question

Can a class extend both an interface and another class in PHP?
Basically I want to do this:

interface databaseInterface{  public function query($q);  public function escape($s);  //more methods }  class database{ //extends both mysqli and implements databaseInterface  //etc. } 

How would one do this, simply doing:

class database implements databaseInterface extends mysqli{  

results in a fatal error:

 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_EXTENDS, expecting '{' in *file* on line *line* 

Answer 1

Try it the other way around:

class database extends mysqli implements databaseInterface { ...} 

This should work.
