[PHP] Class Con- and Destructor Inheritance

[Daniel Schierbeck]

Hello there. I was experimenting a bit with the constructors and 
destructors, and found that this code:

        <?php
        class First
        {
                public function __construct ()
                {
                        echo "Hello, World!\n";
                }
        
                public function __destruct ()
                {
                        echo "Goodbye, World!\n";
                }
        }
        class Second extends First
        {
        }
        $second = new Second;
    ?>
Outputs
        Hello, World!
        Goodbye, World!
, yet the PHP manual 
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php) says:

        Note:  Parent constructors are not called implicitly. In order  
        to run a parent constructor, a call to parent::__construct() is
        required.
Is this an error in the manual or in PHP itself? Should I report it 
somewhere?
