Note Submitter: vanevery at gmail dot com ---- @Amaroq Yes, you're right: the method gets called twice. Not because it is the first function, but because it is the constructor. Historically (and still) before magic methods, PHP supported constructors as functions that shared the same name as the class, e.g. "reftest". It's good practice to capitalize the names of your classes as this would have avoided the issue or made it more apparent.
