From: work at timothytown dot com Operating system: windows PHP version: 7.1.1 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:__construct not being called on extensions of DOM base classes Description: ------------ When a class is registered to a DOMDocument via the registerNodeClass method, the assigned class is used to instance the return object from the DOMDOcument. However, the construct method of that class is not called. Test script: --------------- class SillyTestClass extends DOMElement{ public $foo=null; public function __construct($name,$value=null,$namespace=null){ echo "calling child construct...."; $this->foo="bar"; parent::__construct($name,$value,$namespace); } public function sayHello(){ echo "Why, hello there!"; } } $doc=new DOMDocument(); $doc->registerNodeClass('DOMElement','SillyTestClass'); $doc->loadHTML("<div><h1>Sample</h1></div>"); //THIS WORKS! CUSTOM CLASS BEING USED $doc->documentElement->firstChild->sayHello(); //THIS IS STILL NULL:( Never set by construct, no message saying construct was called either echo $doc->documentElement->firstChild->foo; Expected result: ---------------- output "calling child construct..." //printed from child _construct output "Why, hello there!" //printed from child method sayHello() output "bar" //the value of child property after being assigned in constructor Actual result: -------------- //only the sayHello() method fires; construct doesn't happen Why, hello there; -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73981&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73981&r=mysqlcfg
