and what what happen if the extending class does not call parent::__construct() ? __construct is just like any other function, but with semantic added on top of. Changing the way it behaves will cause many headaches --- BTW, Did you noted that "self" keyword is allowed as method name? so I belive it is not a keyword at all class Foo{

     function self() {
         echo __METHOD__, PHP_EOL;
     }

} $foo = new Foo(); $foo->self();

'self' is not a keyword, but a special predefined class: http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.classes.php 'parent' also works as a method name for the same reason. 'static' does not work, as it's a keyword. Cheers, David
