From: aferreira Operating system: Ubuntu PHP version: 5.3.5 Package: SimpleXML related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:SimpleXMLElement::__construct shows no params via ReflectionMethod Description: ------------ When looking up the SimpleXMLElement::__construct or using any class that extends SimpleXMLElement (the __construct method is final so we can't extend it), Reflection reports that the method has no params available, when in fact, there are plenty and the '$data' param is required. Test script: --------------- <?php $ref = new ReflectionClass('SimpleXMLElement'); $constructor = $ref->getConstructor(); print_r($constructor->getParameters()); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( 'paramname' => 'type' ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53991&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53991&r=mysqlcfg
