[php-maint] Bug#498914: php5-cli: Class-named functions are treated as constructors, but only in included files

[Patrik Fimml]

Package: php5-cli
Version: 5.2.6-3
Severity: normal

When defining a function with the same name as the enclosing class, it
is treated as a constructor for backwards-compatibility. However, if
there is a __construct() function, it should be ignored.

PHP handles this correctly when the class is defined in a script file
that is directly executed, but reports an error (two constructors) if
the class comes from an included file.

With the two attached files in the same directory, I get the following
results:

% php a.php
(nothing)

% php test.php
