Can PHP dynamically check if a class implementation meets the type hinting requirements of an interface during runtime?
When PHP type hints an interface, it checks if the class implementation meets the requirements during compilation, not runtime. However, you can dynamically check if a class implementation meets the type hinting requirements of an interface during runtime by using the `instanceof` operator to verify if the object implements the interface.
interface MyInterface {
public function myMethod();
}
class MyClass implements MyInterface {
public function myMethod() {
// implementation
}
}
$object = new MyClass();
if ($object instanceof MyInterface) {
echo 'Object meets the type hinting requirements of the interface.';
} else {
echo 'Object does not meet the type hinting requirements of the interface.';
}
