1.2.351. Different Constructors¶
PHP allows different signatures for constructors. This is a legacy feature.
Only constructors are allowed to have different signatures : all other methods must be compatible with the parent methods.
<?php
class x {
function __construct($a) {
}
}
class y extends x {
function __construct($a, $b) {
$this->b = $a;
parent::__construct($a);
}
}
?>
1.2.351.1. Suggestions¶
Synchronize the methods signatures
Make use of named constructors to have different signatures when building objects
