Hi,

PHP acts strangely when calling a parent class constructor from an extended class. PHP4 seems to call the constructor without arguments instead of the one with the right number of arguments.

<script language="php">
	class Huikkari {
		var $huikkasana="initial";
		function Huikkari($huikkasana) {
			$this->huikkasana=$huikkasana;
		}
		function Huikkari() {
			$this->huikkasana="default";
		}
		function huikkaa () {
			echo ($this->huikkasana."\n");
			return true;
		}
	}

	class HelloHuikkari extends Huikkari {
		function helloHuikkari () {
// *** possible problem here *** the following line seems
// to call the Huikkari constructor with no arguments
			$this->Huikkari('Hello World');
		}
	}

	$helloHuikkari = new HelloHuikkari();
// I think the following line should
// output 'Hello World' instead of 'defaultt'
	$helloHuikkari->huikkaa();

</script>
