Hopefully > just a quirk, not a bug. The constructor is named "__construct", same as the destructor i wrote about above. __construct also have a higher priority over "class named constructors": C:\php\trunk>php -r "class A { public function A(){ echo __METHOD__, PHP_EOL; } public function __construct(){ echo __METHOD__, PHP_EOL; } } new A;" A::__construct Also this is the webmaster list, and is for the development of the PHP.net websites. I guess what you are looking for is the general PHP list, see: http://www.php.net/mailinglists -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
