====== JObject ======
{#JAPI Joomla.Framework Base JObject::JObject #}

This function is a hack to support the PHP5 %%__construct()%% on PHP4.

Descendant classes have no PHP4 class_name() constructors. If the code runs in PHP4 this constructor gets called first and calls the %%__construct()%% of the inherited class which (if present) should call %%parent::__construct()%%.

===== Syntax =====
JObject JObject ()

===== Examples =====
This example declares the class ''MyObject'' which inherits from JObject implementing the PHP5 constructor ''%%__contruct()%%'' only.
<code php|Example>
class MyObject extends JObject 
{
    var $title;

    function __construct($title) {
        $this->title = $title;
    }
}

$obj = new MyObject('New Title');
</code>

The calling chain in PHP4 would result in:
  1.) JObject::JObject()
  2.) %%MyObject::__construct()%%

whereas in PHP5 the result is:
  1.) %%MyObject __construct()%%
