note 47750 added to language.oop5.decon

i just found out that, together with the 'final' keyword, it gets pretty easy to write a parent-class with a constructor always called and not overwriteable by any childs extending that class. <?php abstract class Foo { final function __construct( $Bar ) { echo "Foo::__construct( $Bar );<br />\n"; } } class Baz extends Foo { public function printBaz( $Val = "" ) { echo "Baz::printBaz( $Val );<br />\n"; } } try { $Obj =& new Baz( "Passed to new Baz( )" ); $Obj->printBaz( "method of Baz" ); } catch ( Exception $E ) { echo 'Caught exception: ', $E->getMessage(), "<\n"; } ?> of course subclasses are forced that way to have no contructor on their own. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47750 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47750&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47750&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47750&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47750&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47750&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47750&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47750&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
