But, if people want to code to php5 standards and beyond, then I would recommend always using the __construct() method to construct your class. Then make it work in php4. Not the other way around.Don't forget that in PHP5, the constructor named has changed. In PHP4 it called a method with the same name as the class. But, in PHP5, it looks for __construct() instead.If __construct doesn't exist then it falls back to the php4 way - makes it backwards compatible :)
