ID: 44148 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: cool_lim_lp at yahoo dot com dot sg -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: irrelevant 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 That's a performance consideration, we don't have to do a class lookup nd don't need to trigger __autoload in that case.
