Bug #66894 [NEW]: Taking old-style-constructor instead of unified one

From: nicolas dot abbuehl at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Taking old-style-constructor instead of unified one Description: ------------ Following scenario: A child-class, which is having an old-style-constructor (name of the child-class) extends a parent-class with a unified constructor. When initializing a new child-class, the child-class-constructor (which is the old one) get's carried out instead of the unified-constructor of the parent-class. According to the documentation (http://de.php.net/__construct, paragraph "For backwards compatibility, if PHP 5..."), this is the wrong behaviour. I am working with PHP 5.5.8, but it's reproducable in PHP 5.4 and 5.3. Test script: --------------- <?php class ParentClass { public function __construct() { echo 'ParentClass'; } } class ChildClass { public function ChildClass() { echo 'ChildClass'; } } $obj = new ChildClass(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- The script should echo 'ParentClass'. Actual result: -------------- The script echoes 'ChildClass'. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66894&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66894&r=mysqlcfg
