Fatal error: Declaration of .. must be compatible with .. PHP

Question

I'm getting the following error:

Fatal error: Declaration of Shoppingcart::addToCart() must be compatible with that of Ishoppingcart::addToCart() in klassen.php on line 118

What could be the problem? I can't find it script:

<?php
// begin
interface Ishoppingcart{
    public function addToCart();
    public function printOverzicht();
}
abstract class Shoppingcart implements Ishoppingcart
{
    protected $producten = array();

    public function addToCart( Product $product) {
        $this->producten[] = $product;
    }
}
class Myshoppingcart extends Shoppingcart {
    public function printOverzicht(){
        echo ("<table border=1>
        <tr>
        <td colspan='7'>Bestellingoverzicht</td>

Answer 1

Ishoppingcart::addToCart() states that the method does not take any parameter, while the implementation Shoppingcart::addToCart(Product $product) requires that a parameter of type Product must be passed into the method. This means that both declarations are incompatible and while the implemented interface must be satisfied PHP throws the shown error.

Solution would be to either change Ishoppingcart::addToCart() to Ishoppingcart::addToCart(Product $product) so that it requires a parameter of type Product or to change Shoppingcart::addToCart(Product $product) to allow no parameter to passed into the method: Shoppingcart::addToCart(Product $product = null);

The correct way depends on your application requirements.
