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';
}
}
