Do you want me to change it to E_STRICT? if that is possible, yes, please. The example below should make it clear why redefinig a constructor *could* make sense.

Why has this one been committed? http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/ZendEngine2/zend_compile.c?login=2&r1=1.55 1&r2=1.552 &ty=h It prevents constructors being redefined. That is fine, *except* for the following case: class MyClass { function MyClass() {
    //constructor for php4,
    //SHOULD be ignored by php5
} function __construct() {
    //constructor for php5,
    //ignored by php4
} } i.e. it doesn't allow a class to work on both php4 and php5. Or am I missing something obvious? Best regards, Lorenzo
