Very big bad bug, suprised it escaped test until now. Only tested on php-fpm, not cli.

namespace NS1 {
class Test {
    function Test($t){
        die('called');
    }
}
}
namespace {
    new \NS1\Test($t);
    die(':(');
}

Expected result:

By design, bug fix.

Methods with the same name as the last element of a namespaced class name will not be treated as constructor anymore. This change doesn't affect non-namespaced classes.

Use the recommended __construct instead.

Thanks for the quick reply, can I recomend adding this to the UPGRADING document?

@doc 

Can you check if it is in there already as well as in the manual?

Already documented at http://php.net/language.oop5.decon

As of PHP 5.3.3, methods with the same name as the last element of a namespaced class name will no longer be treated as constructor. This change doesn't affect non-namespaced classes.
