1.2.1156. Strange Names In Classes¶
Those methods, properties, constants or types should have another name.
Ever wondered why the __constructor is never called? Or the __consturct ?
Those errors most often originate from typos, or quick fixes that where not fully tested. Other times, they were badly chosen, or ran into PHP’s own reserved keywords.
<?php
class foo {
// The real constructor
function __construct() {}
// The fake constructor
function __constructor() {}
// The 'typo'ed' constructor
function __consturct() {}
// This doesn't clone
function clone() {}
}
?>
1.2.1156.1. Suggestions¶
Use the proper name
Remove the method, when it is not used and tests still pass.
