## #17494 — Meno Abels — 2005-08-02T14:42:00+00:00

Hello,

With my application that uses heavily inherent classes, sometimes I
get the following message:
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method Rank::_construtor() in
.../inc/Links.class.php.                           It works with php
4.x when I use the old style of constructor calling 
$this->(CLASSNAME) . But when working with php 5.2 b2 or b3 in the old
OR the new style, I get the PHP Fatal error from above.
Is there any hints to look at this problem?

regards

meno
