Fatal error: Declaration of Bar::__construct() must be compatible with
that of Foo::__construct() in
/usr/home/thekid/devel/php/tests/inheritance.php on line 10
Is this really necessary?
If that error still occurs if you explicitely call the parent's 
__construct (from the derived __construct), that's a bug IMO.

It's totally understandable to get such an error message in the case the 
 parent constructor gets called implicitely, but for an explicit call 
there should neither be a warning or an error .

Cheers,
Michael
