Status: Open
Bug Type: Documentation problem
PHP Version: Irrelevant
New Comment:
The oop5 documentation does not point to the class handling functions
(as the oop4 documentation did, on the very first, the 'class' page at
the end.)

more missing. There can only be one constructor, as opposed to C++. So
function classname($var1,$var2) can't coexist with
function classname($var1) .
Further, when there is a constructor, the new operator has to use it.
Given function classname($var1),
the call
$apple= new classname; fails, but
$apple=new classname('apple') is required syntax.

Description:
------------
the oop5 documentation has a lot of unclear / missing very basic
passages. Among them are:
Basics: How to define a member, How to define a method
How to add a member to an instance ($apple->newmember)
How to add a member to the class on the fly
Constructors: the classname($var) syntax
The sentence "Followed by a pair of curly braces, OF which contains the
definition " the word 'OF' is grammatically wrong in the ears of
non-english, making the sentence non-understandable.
Most of this was missing in the php4 class documentation too. It is not
clear whether the php5 class chapter replaces, or augments the php4
class chapter.
I can't fix it as I can't delve into the sources of ZEND engine and the
like.
