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

He meant that __construct() doesn't work in php4. It's only available in php5. php5 does this: Is the function __construct available? - Yes? Use it. - No? Look for a function with the same name as the class. If that's available, use it. So it's backwards compatible.
