Description:
------------
Calling parent::_construct() from an extended class causes a fatal
error when the parent doesn't have a constructor.
When you've full control over the code - it's not an issue - but when
the parent comes from a code library it's becomes difficult to know if
you should call the constructor. With code libraries such as PEAR - the
parent class might not have a constructor today but might have one
tomorrow.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class parentClass {
function someMethod() {
}
}
class childClass extends parentClass {
function childClass() {
parent::parentClass();
}
}
$obj = new childClass();
Expected result:
----------------
The code above should run without generating a Fatal error - at most
the error should be an E_NOTICE or E_WARNING.
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Can not call constructor in filename.php on Line 007
