ID: 28796 Updated by: curt@php.net Reported By: felix at trilithium dot de -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: Linux version 2.4.21-199-default PHP Version: 5.0.0RC3 New Comment: parent::$this->__construct makes no sense, are you sure you didn't mean parent parent::__construct() Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-18 17:41:46] benjcarson at digitaljunkies dot ca $this->__construct() is a recursive call to secondClass' constructor. Since the constructor never returns, the recursion never bottoms out; it is effectively an infinite loop. Each call consumes space on the stack, so eventually PHP chews up all available memory and dies. You would see the same behaviour if secondClass' constructor was: function __construct() { $this->__construct(); } What you really want, as alex dot pagnoni at solarix dot it has pointed out is: function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-17 13:38:32] alex dot pagnoni at solarix dot it is parent::$this->__construct() the correct syntax? Wasn't it supposed to be parent::__construct()? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-15 17:03:13] felix at trilithium dot de Description: ------------ Apache eat all memory when your try the example code Reproduce code: --------------- class firstClass{ function __construct(){ echo __CLASS__."::".__FUNCTION__."<br>"; } function test(){ echo __CLASS__."::".__FUNCTION__."<br>"; return $this; } } class secondClass extends firstClass{ function __construct(){ echo __CLASS__."::".__FUNCTION__."<br>"; parent::$this->__construct(); //<-here Apache eat all memory //parent::$this->test(); // this works } } $e= new secondClass; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28796&edit=1
