Same "problem".
class A{
public function __construct(){}
}
class B extends A {
protected function __construct(){}
}
Please, can you tell us a reason why we can't put an private/protected access to B's
constructor if A's constructor is public ?
Is there any logical reason to this ?
Thanks.

Apparently, we don't call this a "bug" because this is not caused by a programming
error. So I'm calling it a "massive design flaw" instead.

Same problem here. You cannot actually apply the singleton pattern to subclasses with this behavior.
I do not see any reason for not calling this a bug.

I'm in the same situation as our friend "prometheus" here, I am trying to use a
singleton pattern and logically, this should involve being able to encapsulate the subcalasses
information particularly setting up a private constructor for the singleton subclass, IT DEFINITELY
DOES MAKE SENSE, so please try to take this under consideration for the next php engine release.

is this the 'php'-dev definition?
i'm asking cause wraping a singleton pattern around a subclass makes sense
and the same example is valid for java and c++
to ask it differently: why is it working this way in php? (i'm interested in the background of
this)
my point is that 2 languages allow it and there is an example which is valid, not?

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
This is how it works... you can always open up an API through a new extended interface, but not hide
more.
