[PHP] 'Generate override' feature assigns the return type in the constructor

[DamImpr]

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 28

What happened

When using the ‘generate override’ feature on a class that extends another class, and selecting the constructor, it is created by also assigning the return type, which is not permitted for a constructor.

Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component

PHP project

How to reproduce

1. In a PHP project, create a class that extends another class.

2. Right-click on the editor and select ‘Insert code’ to bring up the “Generate” menu, then select ‘Override & implement methods’.

3. Select "__constructor", then press "Ok" button

4. The constructor with return type is generated.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

Anything else

• The error shown in the screenshot was generated when running PHP version 8.3, but the same error also occurs in version 8.4.
• The bug does not occur when ‘Constructor’ is selected in the same ‘Generate’ menu.
