Flexibility, I would guess. With PHP's current behavior one can:

As far as I know, this is fairly common in most programming languages
(but I just woke up so don't take my word on it!). It allows you a
lot greater control over the construction of your class, since you can
force the child class to override what the parent class's default
member variable values a
If you instantiate a child class, the parent class constructor is not
called, is there a reason for this? anyone know of plans to change
this at all,
the obvious workaround is to call the parents constructor inside the
childs constructor, but this seems kinda strange.
