Description:
------------
Extending the built-in class 'mysqli' doesn't give the expected and desired result. The extended class doesn't have the members the parent class has and is unusable.

We found a related mailinglist entry from more than a year ago: http://www.zend.com/lists/engine2/200302/msg00244.html

The possibility to extend built-in classes is a major feature in PHP5 - at least for us ;).

The reproduce code below is a minimal testcase - other more complicated tests failed as well.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class DB extends mysqli
{	
}

$DB1 = new DB('localhost', 'root', '', 'probase2');
$DB2 = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'probase2');

var_dump($DB1->thread_id);
var_dump($DB1->error);
var_dump($DB1->errno);

var_dump($DB2->thread_id);
var_dump($DB2->error);
var_dump($DB2->errno);

Expected result:
----------------
int(97)
string(0) ""
int(0)
int(98)
string(0) ""
int(0)

Actual result:
--------------
<br />
<b>Notice</b>:  Undefined property:  DB::$thread_id in <b>d:\htdocs_php5\ProBase2\TRUNK\probase\libsys\test.php</b> on line <b>10</b><br />
NULL
<br />
<b>Notice</b>:  Undefined property:  DB::$error in <b>d:\htdocs_php5\ProBase2\TRUNK\probase\libsys\test.php</b> on line <b>11</b><br />
NULL
<br />
<b>Notice</b>:  Undefined property:  DB::$errno in <b>d:\htdocs_php5\ProBase2\TRUNK\probase\libsys\test.php</b> on line <b>12</b><br />
NULL
int(97)
string(0) ""
int(0)

some of the internal classas cannot be extended and unfortunatley they are not marked as 'final' right now. For you that means you need to extend it by a proxy class that reimplements the original class protocol and uses the original class as a property.

The classes in mysqli either need to be final or they need to be made extendable.
