Question

class A extends B {}
class B extends C{}
class C {}

result

PHP Fatal error: class 'B' not found ...

if the order is like this

class A extends B {}
class C {}
class B extends C{}

everything is ok.

---

PS: if I remove class C {}

class A extends B {}
class B extends C{}

php tells me class ‘B’ is not found, why?

php version 5.3.4

Answer 1

clearly a parser bug

this works

class A extends B {}
class B {}

this doesn’t

class C extends D {}
class D extends E {}
class E {}
