ID: 9253 Updated by: andre Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: class constructors are never supposed to return anything, they are simple the fist method called after an object has <hack> anyway if you *really* want to return false just kill the object itself from within the constructor (to be sure take the last line) using unset($this) or $this=FALSE or $this=NULL </hack> bogusifying Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-14 05:23:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Class constructors can't abort instance creation, for example by returning false... This leads to a lot of "if (! $newobj->status)" crap. Why is that ? I found a message on the PHP3 mailing list about this, but it's still not there. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
