[PHP] class functions where the function name == class name

[Glenn Yonemitsu]

Hey there guys I just started trying out with writing classes. I've been 
looking at a lot of PEAR class files and noticed this:

class classname {
   function classname() {
   }
}
I know that "$object = new classname;" will automatically run 
$object->classname();. But is it neccessary for every class to have this 
function? I read all these scripts and they all have them. I made one 
simple database class but it failed horribly, and I'm curious to if the 
initiated functions have anything to do with them.

Thanks.
Glenn
