The example was something like:
class foo {
function foo() {
legacy generic constructor code
}
function __construct() {
php5-specific stuff
$this->foo(); // chain to legacy constructor code
}
}
A bit contrieved, but when this class runs under PHP5 it would run the
additional PHP5-specific code and when it runs under PHP4 it wouldn't.
