note 86423 added to language.oop5.decon

It's always the easy things that get you - Being new to OOP, it took me quite a while to figure out that there are TWO underscores in front of the word __construct. It is __construct Not _construct Extremely obvious once you figure it out, but it can be sooo frustrating until you do. I spent quite a bit of needless time debugging working code. I even thought about it a few times, thinking it looked a little long in the examples, but at the time that just seemed silly(always thinking "oh somebody would have made that clear if it weren't just a regular underscore...") All the manuals I looked at, all the tuturials I read, all the examples I browsed through - not once did anybody mention this! (please don't tell me it's explained somewhere on this page and I just missed it, you'll only add to my pain.) I hope this helps somebody else! ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 68.186.254.149 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86423 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86423/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86423/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86423/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86423/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86423/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86423/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86423 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86423 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
