## #8638 — tress@b0g.org — 2004-03-22T00:31:40+00:00

The below code outputs ... a() ... when I would expect ... __construct() ...
is this a bug,
some sort of new (only seeing this occur since RC1) feature, or some option
I'm supposed to switch off ?


<?php
class a
{
function __construct()
{
echo '__construct()';
}

function a()
{
echo 'a()';
}
}

$a=new a;
?
