Doc #66926 [Com]: old-style constructor and __construct()

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66926&edit=1 ID: 66926 Comment by: miksir at maker dot ru Reported by: wako057 at gmail dot com Summary: old-style constructor and __construct() Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Debian PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: You are welcome =) And to wako057: It's not a bug, it's feature :) https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52160 Emit E_STRICT in second case not possible because it's broke legal PHP5 code. But in first case E_STRICT still emitted because very low chance that constructor is not first method in class. So, this strange behavior - is the balance between legal PHP5 code, BC with PHP4 code and warning about BC break (about this one: "Effectively, it means that the only case that would have compatibility issues is if the class had a method named __construct() which was used for different semantics") Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-09-03 22:17:40] cmb@php.net Thanks for pointing out my mistake, miksir! :) So actually, this is not a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-09-03 22:15:19] cmb@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of cmb Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=337740 Log: reverted erroneous fix for bug #66926 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-09-03 21:21:11] miksir at maker dot ru PHP5 always use __construct, not whichever comes first https://3v4l.org/7eg0E https://3v4l.org/K0FqA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-08-18 13:41:56] cmb@php.net This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources.
