This bug is far from bogus. You say that this using the name of the
class as a function is depricated for a constructor? Deprecated and
removed are two entirely different things.
If it's deprecated, it should be noted in the documentation that it's
deprecated, but it should still work. If what you mean by deprecated
is removed, then it should be consistent and be removed entirely.
If you name the class with no mixed case in the name, it works fine.
Change the name of the parent class to have mixed case, and it doesn't
work. It clearly points out how inconsistent php5 is. If php5 doesn't
support class name functions as the constructor, it should at least be
consistent.

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
Please use parent::__construct() to call the parent's constructor. We
don't support calling it via the object and definitely not using the
depricated fashion of using the classes name as the constructor name.

Anything new on this?

Marcus, this fix wasn't quite enough.

Actually this hasn't been completely fixed. This is the same issue as
the original post. Please do not close this bug as it is NOT fixed.
This is the same issue. The first third child class can't resolve the
cascade of the constructor call back to the parent class just because
the case and name of the classes change.
?php
class A {
function A() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__. called!br\n;
}
}
class bTesting extends A {
function blah() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__.() calledbr\n;
}
}
class c extends bTesting {
function c() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__.() called!!br\n;
$this-bTesting();
}
}
$obj = new c();
$obj-blah();
?
results in:
c::c() called!!
Fatal error: Call to undefined method c::bTesting() in

because $c-bTesting() is calling the constructor of the bTesting
object. in php4, that cascades to the A class, as it should since the A
constructor exists, but the bTesting constructor doesn't.

There is no function called bTesting(), so why shouldn't it output an
error?? (I'd say it's bug in PHP4 where it magically works..)

Actually this is a more valid test. sorry
?php
class A {
function A() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__. called!br\n;
}
}
class bTesting extends A {
function blah() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__.() calledbr\n;
}
}
class c extends bTesting {
function c() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__.() called!!br\n;
$this-bTesting();
}
}
$obj = new c();
$obj-blah();
?
results in:
c::c() called!!

Works fine with PHP 4 btw. :) (somehow I think this might be one for
Marcus to fix..?)

Description:
I have 3 classes a, b extends a, c extends b.
b doesn't have constructor.
c class contructor calls b's constructor in an effort
to cascade constructor calls up the class heirarchy.
This works great until class 'a' is renamed to 'A'.
?php
/* This script works as one would expect.
The foo class constructor gets called.
*/
class a {
function a() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__. called!br\n;
}
}
class b extends a {
function blah() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__.() calledbr\n;
}
}
class c extends b {
function c() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__.() called!!br\n;
$this-b();
}
}
$obj = new c();
$obj-blah();
/* Output is
c::c() called!!
a::a called!
b::blah() called
*/
?
Reproduce code:
---
?php
/*
Notice that the only thing that is different here is the
case of the 'a' class changed to 'A' in all the appropriate places.
Now I get a Fatal error saying
c::b() doesn't exist?
*/
class A {
function A() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__. called!br\n;
}
}
class b extends A {
function blah() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__.() calledbr\n;
}
}
class c extends b {
function c() {
echo __CLASS__.::.__FUNCTION__.() called!!br\n;
$this-b();
//ERROR IN LINE ABOVE
}
}
$obj = new c();
$obj-blah();
/* Output is
c::c() called!!
Fatal error: Call to undefined method c::b() in
/home/waboring/devel/php/oop.php on line 18
*/
?
Expected result:
I expect that both of the scripts would work the same way. I have many
classes that have Mixed case
Actual result:
--
Fatal error: Call to undefined method c::b() in
/home/waboring/devel/php/oop.php on line 18
