A constructor of the "parent" class is being called only if the "child" class constructor is not found. Following example prooves this - the Parent's constructor is not being executed and the output is only: "here I am - Child constructor" <?..class Parent { ........function Parent() { ............print "here I am - Parent constructor"; ........} ....} ....class Child extends Parent { ........function Child() { ............print "here I am - Child constructor"; ........} ....} ....$child =& new Child(); ?> Have a nice day Yaroukh -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31476 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31476 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31476
