#43264 [Opn->Bgs]: __destruct

ID: 43264 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: miha dot vrhovnik at domenca dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php PHP is a unique language and there isn't even a parent class to your base class, so there's no class which could offer such a feature. Adding some magic won't fit to the engine. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-12 14:26:35] miha dot vrhovnik at domenca dot com Description: ------------ PHP 5.2.4 doesn't provide default class destructor and exits with Fatal error: Call to undefined method base::__destruct() in /path/to/bug.php on line 23 For me coming from Delphi waters this is a bug. If php would provide default class destructor you could write future proof code I think that there is no need to explain what I mean with that especially after reading this in documentation: > Like constructors, parent destructors will not be called implicitly > by the engine. In order to run a parent destructor, one would have > to explicitly call parent::__destruct() in the destructor body. Reproduce code: --------------- error_reporting(E_ALL); $c = new extender(); class base { public function __constructor() { parent::__construct(); } } class extender extends base { public function __constructor() { parent::__construct(); } public function __destruct() { parent::__destruct(); } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43264&edit=1
