You lost me there. If it's always ignored... a
The constructor's return value is always ignored internally. So the only
time the constructor's return is ever used is in a child-class.
if (parent::__construct()) {
// blah
}
But I'd argue that if you need to do that, inheritance isn't what you need,
but another form of composition...

This might be little more than a matter of style, but I would add that I
don't think Person's __construct() should return a boolean. By definition
it returns an instance of the Person class, so you need not explicitly
return anything.

Yes, as Brian said, go with protected. If you need to change the value of
the attribute from outside of the class then provide a public setter method
to set a new value. This approach makes the control of the objects a lot
easier to manage.
Best,

You can also use 'protected' to only allow sub-classes to access the
variable.

Will do. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to override a variable

Interesting. The parent isn't multi-generational, far as I can see. That
is, if C extends B which extends A, parent::__construct() in C does not
have access to stuff constructed in A.
I can make it work by making C extend A, but need to google a way to
inherit further up the chain.
Thanks!
As Jeff said you have to call it explicitly
class Trooper extends Person
{
public function _construct($parms)
{
parent::_construct();
//Whatever else is here
}
}

I think you're looking for parent::__construct();
The child's __construct() will replace the parent's. So if you want to run
the parent's you have to call it explicitly.

Okay, OOP newbie time again. In line 11 I declare an array. Per IRC
conversations a day or so ago, line 49 has to go into the __construct
function. However, the hope is that line 83 would add to what was done
in line 49. It seems not to.
I think because the extends doesn't actually call the __
