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 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-18 09:24:38] judas dot iscariote at gmail dot com huh ? it raises the expected error message.. PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method parentClass::parentclass() this is the expected behaviuor as parent::parentClass(); does not exists at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-18 09:14:31] dasher at inspiredthinking dot co dot uk 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41428&edit=1
