为什么不总是使用抽象而不是接口？

Question

In PHP why not always use abstract instead of interface? I do know the following:

Use an interface when you want to force developers working in your system (yourself included) to implement a set number of methods on the classes they'll be building.

Use an abstract class when you want to force developers working in your system (yourself included) to implement a set numbers of methods and you want to provide some base methods that will help them develop their child classes.

if so why not always use abstract (when you want the functionality of an interface) without providing any base methods?

Answer 1

因为一个类可以实现多个接口，但是只能扩展一个抽象类。
