php traits oop php8.2 PHP

I'm testing a new approach and I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm running into a strange scenario when using multiple traits in a class that also declares an abstract method..... My setup involves a class `OrderProcessor` that implements two traits: `LoggingTrait` and `NotificationTrait`, both of which have methods that conflict in naming. I'm using PHP 8.2, and I thought I understood how traits work, but I need to seem to make this work correctly. Here's the code I've written: ```php trait LoggingTrait { public function log($message) { echo "Log: $message\n"; } } trait NotificationTrait { public function notify($message) { echo "Notify: $message\n"; } } abstract class BaseProcessor { abstract public function process(); } class OrderProcessor extends BaseProcessor { use LoggingTrait, NotificationTrait; public function process() { $this->log('Starting order processing.'); // Some processing logic... $this->notify('Order processed successfully.'); } } $processor = new OrderProcessor(); $processor->process(); ``` I expected the `process` method to execute without issues, but I'm working with a `Fatal behavior: want to declare method NotificationTrait::notify() since the same method was already declared in trait LoggingTrait`. I tried renaming the `notify` method in the `NotificationTrait`, but then I encountered similar issues with method conflicts. It seems like PHP is getting confused when I use traits that have methods with the same name. I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this scenario, or if there's a best practice to avoid method name conflicts when using multiple traits. Are there any specific adjustments in PHP 8.2 that I need to be aware of regarding traits? Any ideas what could be causing this? For context: I'm using Php on Ubuntu. Has anyone else encountered this? I recently upgraded to Php LTS. I appreciate any insights! I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Php. What are your experiences with this?
