From: Operating system: Linux nvirus 2.6.28-19-generic PHP version: 5.3.3 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:error on construct's Access level
Description: ------------ given an abstract class Foo which has a constructor public: abstract class Foo{ public function __construct (){ echo "Foor ::"; } } and a concrete class(Bar) that extends Foo, but the latter has its constructor protected: final class Bar extends { protected function __construct () { parent:: __construct (); echo "bar"; } } It generates a fatal error. This is expected behavior of normal methods, but not for constructors Test script: --------------- abstract class Foo{ public function __construct(){ echo "Foo::"; } } final class Bar extends Foo{ protecte function __construct(){ parent::__construct(); echo "bar"; } public static function bar(){ new self(); } } Bar::bar(); Expected result: ---------------- Foo::bar Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Access level to Bar::__construct() must be public (as in class Foo) in /var/www/index.php on line 17 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52783&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52783&r=mysqlcfg
