How to call parent class' consturctor

[jordanwb]

I have the following classes:

 

abstract class DatabaseEngine
{
function DatabaseEngine ($settings){}
}

class MySQLDatabaseEngine extends DatabaseEngine
{
function MySQLDatabaseEngine ($settings){}
}

 

How do I call the parent class' constructor? For Java I call super () and for C# I call base (). I know I use the parent keywork but I don't know how and where I would use it.

 

Thanks.
