#27227 [Bgs->Opn]: Mixed case class names causes Fatal Error in Constructor call

ID: 27227 User updated by: waboring at 3gstech dot com Reported By: waboring at 3gstech dot com -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-02-11 Assigned To: helly New Comment: This bug is far from bogus. You say that this using the name of the class as a function is depricated for a constructor? Deprecated and removed are two entirely different things. If it's deprecated, it should be noted in the documentation that it's deprecated, but it should still work. If what you mean by deprecated is removed, then it should be consistent and be removed entirely. If you name the class with no mixed case in the name, it works fine. Change the name of the parent class to have mixed case, and it doesn't work. It clearly points out how inconsistent php5 is. If php5 doesn't support class name functions as the constructor, it should at least be consistent.

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 Please use parent::__construct() to call the parent's constructor. We don't support calling it via the object and definitely not using the depricated fashion of using the classes name as the constructor name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-03 14:29:08] derick@php.net Anything new on this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-20 04:37:17] sniper@php.net Marcus, this fix wasn't quite enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-19 13:17:54] waboring at 3gstech dot com Actually this hasn't been completely fixed. This is the same issue as the original post. Please do not close this bug as it is NOT fixed. This is the same issue. The first third child class can't resolve the cascade of the constructor call back to the parent class just because the case and name of the classes change. <?php class A { function A() { echo __CLASS__."::".__FUNCTION__." called!<br>\n"; } } class bTesting extends A { function blah() { echo __CLASS__."::".__FUNCTION__."() called<br>\n"; } } class c extends bTesting { function c() { echo __CLASS__."::".__FUNCTION__."() called!!<br>\n"; $this->bTesting(); } } $obj = new c(); $obj->blah(); ?> results in: c::c() called!! Fatal error: Call to undefined method c::bTesting() in /home/waboring/devel/bug.php on line 18 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-15 19:28:42] helly@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS.
