In what ways does PHP object-oriented programming differ from Java, aside from syntax?

PHP object-oriented programming differs from Java in several ways aside from syntax. One key difference is that PHP does not support interfaces with constants, static methods, or static properties. Additionally, PHP does not have strict access modifiers like Java (public, private, protected). Lastly, PHP does not have built-in support for abstract classes and final classes, which are commonly used in Java. 

<?php

// Example of implementing an interface with constants in Java
interface ExampleInterface {
    const EXAMPLE_CONSTANT = 10;
    
    public function exampleMethod();
}

// This code would not work in PHP due to the lack of support for interfaces with constants
