Hello Thomas,

  sure php is unlike c++ where everything is handled via vmt's that change
during construction. In php the ctors are called after the default values
are applied to every member variable. Actually the most outer ctor is being
called so in your case B's. If that is calling into A's ctor which is in
your case a c implementation you can easily access that member just as any
other.

best regards
