From: php_net at foq dot nl Operating system: debian etch PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: child constructor not executed Description: ------------ I am using a base class and a lot of classes which extend that base class. When i add class variables in the base class i can use those in the extending class. All goed well. But when i set variables from the base class constructor then the extended class does not get these new values. I tested, and the base class constructor is not executed. Reproduce code: --------------- class base { var $mysql_link = null; var $test = "hello"; function base() { $this->test = "helloolleh"; $this->mysql_link = mysql_connect("host", "user", "pass"); if(!$this->mysql_link) exit("mysql connection failed."); } } class photo extends base { photo() { print "photo constructor is working!\n"; print "But the base class not: '".$this->test."'\n"; mysql_query("Select foo from bar", $this->mysql_link) or die(mysql_error()); } } $p = new photo(); Expected result: ---------------- photo constructor is working! helloolleh Error in query Actual result: -------------- // nothing hello mysql: not a valid resource identifier -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48354&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48354&r=mysqlcfg
