 So I when I create a new class I can assign 'name' by doing '$t1 = new
 test1(test1);'

 As part of another thread I noticed the _construct function which (if I
 am correct) does more or less the same thing:

 class test2 {
 var $name;
 function _construct($pName) {
   $this-name = $pName;
 }
 }

It's __construct (double underscore).

PHP5 uses __construct

PHP4 uses the class name.

To support both:

class test {
  // php5 calls this
  function __construct()
  {
   echo 'do stuff here';
  }

  // php4 calls this
  function test()
  {
$this-__construct();
  }
}

:D


To support both, i wouldn't even think about the PHP5 __Construct. I
would just do it like this:

class test {
  function test()
  {
   echo 'do stuff here';
  }
}

[PHP] _Construct question

2007-03-20 Thread John Comerford 

Hi Folks,

I am still pretty new to PHP and I have a question regarding classes and 
using _construct.  Up until now I have been creating my classes as follows:


class test1 {
var $name;
function test1($pName) {
  $this-name = $pName;
}
}

So I when I create a new class I can assign 'name' by doing '$t1 = new 
test1(test1);'


As part of another thread I noticed the _construct function which (if I 
am correct) does more or less the same thing:


class test2 {
var $name;
function _construct($pName) {
  $this-name = $pName;
}
}

I have fished around a bit and cannot find why one might be better than 
the other.  The only thing I can think is that maybe you need to use 
_construct to be able to use extends ?


Is this the case ?   What is the advantage/disadvantage of using 
_construct as opposed to using a function with the classname ?


Thanks,
 JC

It changed from PHP 4 to PHP 5 because of various issues.
