The main advantage of interfaces in PHP is that classes can implement multiple interfaces. This allows you to group classes that share some functionality but do not necessarily share a parent class. Some examples might include caching, output, or accessing properties of the class in a certain way. From a site.

Think of the following case study in a game. There are two types of weapons. Knife and Gun. Knifes have their own different methods from Guns but one similarity - they can both be held in hand to use to conquer enemies. So the best approach is to do this Interface Weapon Class Knife inherits Weapon Class Gun inherits Weapon Class MachineGun extends Gun
