constructor standard?

[MasterACE14]

Hello,

 

I have a simple(debatable stupid) question. Is there any difference between the following? and is there any problems associated with any of the following? and... which is best practice?

function __construct() { } // 1
private function __construct() { } // 2
public function __construct() { } // 3

 

Kind Regards,

Ace

Well depends, if the construct method is being called by other classes then the scope would make a difference...

 

With Abstract classes is another example too, but heres a basic one.

 

 

example

 

Fatal error: Cannot call private Class1::__construct() in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/test.php on line 16

<?php
class Class1{

private function __construct(){

	print "This is class 1";

}


}
class Class2 extends Class1{

function __construct(){

	parent::__construct();


}

}
$test = new Class2();
?>
