Well, PHP is a loosely typed language. You have much more freedom when you write a code. Constructors are not an exception. It is very convinient that you may not call the parent constructor and many people do it, believe me! And also the flag for the internal classes that has been discussed is maybe enough for PHP.

I'd also like to know _why_ constructors/destructors are less fit for PHP, than these other languages? How can you be sure that objects of a class are properly initialised, and that they clean up after themselves? (Yes, I know the runtime cleans up after them, at script termination, if want to be sloppy, but that still doesn't cover the constructor case) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
