Question

See the objects below:

interface IMedia
{
    public function getThemed();
    public function getDownloadLink();
}

class Video implements IMedia
{
    public function getThemed() {}
    public function getDownloadLink() {}
}

If there are some common attributes such as:

public $size;
public $uploadedDate;
public $hitCounts;

Can they be added to IMedia? Or is it recommended to use abstract class in that place?

@Muneer

First of all it’s not possible. Interface doesn’t allow this. I’d suggest to do something like this:

interface IMedia {

}

abstract class AbstractMedia implements IMedia {
  public $property = "value";
}
