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.

Example

class MyObject extends JObject 
{
    var $title;

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

$obj = new MyObject('New Title');

The calling chain in PHP4 would result in: 

1.) JObject::JObject()
2.) %%MyObject::__construct()%%

whereas in PHP5 the result is: 

1.) %%MyObject __construct()%%
