Hi, why if I have class B extends A { } the only way to call in automatic the A::__construct() is to not write the B::__construct() ? Ok, this is the design of PHP. But why ?

You can do the following: class base {

        function __construct() {
                echo "base::__construct()\n";
        }

        function __destruct() {
                echo "base::__destruct()\n";
        }

} class derived extends base {

        function __construct() {
                parent::__construct();
                echo "derived::__construct()\n";
        }

        function __destruct() {
                parent::__destruct();
                echo "derived::__destruct()\n";
        }
