Hi!
Many PHP features should be language constructs, but they were made as
language hacks.
__construct is evil, as like any other language hack
Constructors are standard feature in many languages. There's nothing
evil in them.
class Client {
function __construct() {
// some code
parent::__construct(); // as good client call the super class
// and then more code
}
}
Arguably, initialization is the part of the API, but I see your point -
it might be useful to supply all objects with empty default ctor so that
parent::__construct() always works. Submit a feature request to
bugs.php.net.
