The constructor of the mysqli class is mysqli, but it should be __construct. Reproduce code: --------------- $x = new mysqli(); if(method_exists($x, "mysqli")) echo "mysqli exists"; if(method_exists($x, "__construct")) echo "__construct exists"; Expected result: ---------------- __construct exists Actual result: -------------- mysqli exists ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=32490&edit=1
