Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- Now what if you want a class that has a construct depending on an input. Let me explain what I mean here: Say I have a class WebPage. Now I want to instantiate it according to a variable "lang" passed through browsing. so I'd have something like: $page = new WebPage($lang); which you can do in pure OOP, but I am wondering if it is doable in PHP as no one seem to mention it... What would be require is a class constructor which I haven't found any reference to yet without it being a subclass in my case the WebPage class is my point of origin and only has dependencies on other classes...
