Hello Jason,
to be honest i don't really care. Since i am a C++ guy who loves types
i'd appreciate automatic calling of inherited constructors/destructors.
But php does not have types and so the non implicit calling version
gives us a little bit more flexibility. Since we also don't have
polymorph
Quite possible you had something else in mind, im just interested in
knowing why its done this way, is it for performance sake, is it
becuase you beleive php is more flexable this way, is it becuase it
just happened to be as such...
Im not being critical, Im being curious...

Hello Jason,
maybe this time we neither had c++ nor java in mind, this time it was
delphi.

which languages is this normal too..
if you refer to java, that uses the 'super' function, you need only
explicitly call super if your constructor has arguments, otherwise an
implicit call is made to the parents defualt constructor ( one with
arguments).
c++ also will call the parent defualt con
