Note Submitter: markus at malkusch dot de ---- PHP only supports object constructors. Object contructors are called for every new instance of a class. A class constructor would be called only once per class definition. PHP doesn't support a class constructor. But you can implement it by yourself with an autoloader. There exists already an autoloader implementation which supports the class constructor __static(): http://php-autoloader.malkusch.de/en/
