From: oancea at gmail dot com Assigned: helly (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 5.1.1 OS: *
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2005-12-17 15:31 UTC] oancea at gmail dot com
Description:
------------
Since php allows constructors in old fashion to keep a BC with version 4, one could overwrite this constructor by using the new php 5 syntax: __construct.

[aurelian@gremlin ~]$ php -v
PHP 5.1.1 (cli) (built: Dec  4 2005 16:11:20)
Copyright (c) 1997-2005 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2005 Zend Technologies

Reproduce code:
---------------
    class Base {
        public final function __construct() {
        }
    }

    class Extended extends Base {
        public function Extended() {
            echo __METHOD__."\n";
        }
    }
    $e= new Extended();

Expected result:
----------------
PHP Fatal error:  Cannot override final method Base::__construct()

Actual result:
--------------
Extended::Extended
