Subject: redefined constructor: old and new syntax
From: l.alberton@quipo.it (Lorenzo Alberton)

Why has this one been committed?

http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/ZendEngine2/zend_compile.c?login=3D2&r1=3D1.551&r2=3D1=
.552

It prevents constructors being redefined.
That is fine, *except* for the following case:

class MyClass
{
    function MyClass() {
        //constructor for php4,
        //SHOULD be ignored by php5
    }

    function __construct() {
        //constructor for php5,
        //ignored by php4
    }
}

i.e. it doesn't allow a class to work on both php4 and php5.
Or am I missing something obvious?

Best regards,
Lorenzo
