Reproduce code: --------------- <?php require_once('controller.php'); $l = new Login(); class Login extends Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); echo('Extended'); } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Extended Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Class 'Login' not found in ...\test.php on line 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29041&edit=1
