Which indicates there is some problem with your original code.  It could 
be anything - including misplaced /*...*/ comments, for instance.

But I looked again at your code, and I'm confused,  In class A you have

public function b().

And in class B you have

public function a().

Which is it?

Also, you are aware, aren't you, that this follows the old style PHP 
constructors (which are still valid) where the constructor's name is the 
name of the class (instead of __construct() ).
