Bug description:Mind the constructor return value
Description:
------------
As-is, returning values in the constructor has no effect, and the class
instance
is returned instead. Either allow for explicitly returned values to
supersede the
object, or warn about trying to return a value from a constructor.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
class C
{
function __construct()
{
return NULL;
}
}
$c = new C;
print_r($c);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Either a warning at line 10, or $c set to NULL
Actual result:
--------------
No warning, and $c set to a C Object
