 New Comment:

You call the parent's constructor in the child, of course it sets the
variable again. (this is 'fixed' in PHP 5 with the introduction of
private/protected/public variables)

Description:
------------
I define variable A within parent class cFoo, and initialise it within
the class Constructor. 

I redefine variable A within child class cBar, and initialise it within
the class Constructor which then calls the parent class Constructor. 

The parent constructor modifies the child instance of property A rather
than the parent instance. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php 
/* Inheritance test2. Inherited Vars */ 

class cFoo 
{       
        var $A; 
        function cFoo() /* constructor */ 
        {
                $this->A = "cFoo_A"; 
        }

        function Display() 
        { 
                print("Within cFoo::Display; property A = '$this->A'; should be
'cFoo_A'<br>\n"); 
        } 
}; 

class cBar extends cFoo 
{ 
        var $A;  // redefines A
        function cBar() /* constructor */ 
        {
                $this->A = "cBar_A";
                $this->cFoo();  /* parent constructor */
        }

        function Display() 
        { 
                print("Within cBar::Display; property A = '$this->A'; should be
'cBar_A'<br>\n"); 
        } 
}; 

$foo1 = new cFoo; 
$foo1->Display(); 
$bar1 = new cBar; 
$bar1->Display(); 
exit; 
?> 


Expected result:
----------------
Within cFoo::Display; property A = 'cFoo_A'; should be 'cFoo_A'
Within cBar::Display; property A = 'cBar_A'; should be 'cBar_A'


Actual result:
--------------
Within cFoo::Display; property A = 'cFoo_A'; should be 'cFoo_A'
Within cBar::Display; property A = 'cFoo_A'; should be 'cBar_A'
