Number one question on every PHP interview

I am a PHP programmer and have been on many job interviews. I noticed that on each of them one question always came up.

That question is:

The answer to this question is simple and proves the candidate's familiarity with object-oriented programming.

So let's compare these two:

Abstract class

It can provide some functionality and leave the rest for the derived class.

The derived class may or may not override the concrete functions defined in the base class.

A child class extended from an abstract class should logically be related.

To declare class to be abstract just simply abstract before class keyword

Interface

It cannot contain any functionality. It only contains definitions of the methods.

The derived class MUST provide code for all the methods defined in the interface.

Completely different and non-related classes can be logically grouped together using an interface.

To declare interface use interface keyword
