I just image the case of a class with some optimizations for php5, but with a fallback implementation of some of its features for php4 too, which get triggered by the constructor. Anyway, I agree this is a weak argument, there may be other ways to do the same thing. > If it contains something that works in php4 > - why do you need separate constructor? if the php4-way of naming a constructor is not going to be deprecated, then I don't.
