That's not true, running with v. 5.2.1:
<?php
class A
{
function A() {
echo "works\n";
}
}
$a = new A();
?>
Outputs:
works

They're basically the same thing, however, you can only use
__construct in
PHP5.

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
