Hi!

I'm not a 100% certain if this is a bug, but it made me think of it...

Here is some sample code:

---

class A {
   var $test;
   function A() { $this->test = 1; }
}
class B extends A {
   function B() {}
   function out() { echo $this->test; }
}

$test = &new B;
$test->out();

---

The abose sample will output "" - an empty string. I found out that the contructor of class A is never called. I'm programing a lot with C++ and find this behaviour odd. All contructors of derived classes should be called.

I searched the bug database and found bug #1856 - rather old - telling me that it should be fixed in CVS that times.

If this an intended behaviour, please excuse me for disturbing ;-)
