Non-existant methods seems to be callable. It only happens if no constructor is defined in class b. This can be reproduced in php4.4, 5.1, 5.2-cvs, 6-cvs : Reproduce code: --------------- class a { function a($arg='') { echo $arg; } } class b extends a {} $b = new b; $b->b('foo'); $b->__construct('foo'); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined method b::b() in ... Fatal error: Call to undefined method b::__construct() in ... Actual result: -------------- foo Fatal error: Call to undefined method b::__construct() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39127&edit=1
