Perhaps i may be mistaken, but it seems logical to search for the old-style constructor first in order to be backwards compatible with old-style scripts. Putting __construct in old style classes would yield a classname of '__construct', an ugly and unlikely name for a class. Seeing as A::A() would be much nicer, i can see the logic behind parsing the old-style first, rather than the new-style.
That's just my two cents, feel free to correct me otherwise.. ~ Andrew Heebner > > >__construct is the new method of defining a constructor, but > >the 'bug' you suspect is not a bug.
