I probably make an error entering the bug.
What should be read is:

Actual result:
--------------
Creation of ExtObject
ExtObject->CBaseClass::__construct()
End of script

Expected result:
----------------
Creation of ExtObject
ExtObject->CBaseClass::__construct()
End of script
ExtObject->CBaseClass::__destruct()

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The instance is destructed of course after script termination if the
script doesn't destroy it itself. And when a derived class has no
specialized destructor then of course the inherited destructor is to be
called.

Description:
------------
There is no recursive call to __destruct when it is not defined in a
derived class.
There is not this problem with __construct.
This can be dangerous be cause if a destructor is declared, all the
derived clas have to declare a __destruct to be sure that the
destruction is done.
In other way __destruct is obligatory not to have problem, but this is
not flexible.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class CBaseClass {
   var $name;
   function __construct($name) {
      $this->name = $name;
      echo "$this->name-&gt;CBaseClass::__construct()<br>";
   }
   
   function __destruct() {
      echo "$this->name-&gt;CBaseClass::__destruct()<br>";
   }
}

class CExtClass extends CBaseClass {
}

echo 'Creation of ExtObject<br>';
$ExtObject = new CExtClass('ExtObject');

echo 'End of script<br>';


Expected result:
----------------
Creation of ExtObject
ExtObject->CBaseClass::__construct()
End of script


Actual result:
--------------
Creation of ExtObject
ExtObject->CBaseClass::__construct()
End of script
ExtObject->CBaseClass::__destruct()
