PHP4 and Constructor

Hi,

I would like to use constructor in PHP4, but how do you make a constructor?
In PHP5, I do like

class ClassName {
function __construct() {
.....
}
}

But PHP4 doesn't have such a thing as __construct()... Reading the
official manual didn't make me understood. Does this mean the very
first `function` in class is always the constructor for the Class?

Name the function the same as the class.

class ABC {
function ABC() {
//constructor in php4
$this->__construct(); // just call the php5 one.
}
function __construct() {
//constructor in php5.
}
}

Hi,
In PHP4, the constructor has the same name as the class.

class ClassName {
function ClassName() {
....
}
}

Re: PHP4 and Constructor

this is why for backwards compatibility with PHP 4 people usually do
this. Note that if you use public/private/protected it probably will
not work on PHP 4

class Foo
{
function __construct($params)
{
$this->Foo($params);
}

function Foo($params)
{
// Actual Constructor
}
}
?>
