multiple constructors

[Anon]

I've created a class with multiple constructors -- one takes one argument, and the other takes two. Problem is, when I call the constructor and pass in two arguments, the constructor with ONE argument still gets called...

anyone know why?

To my knowledge PHP doesn't allow for multiple constructors...

What you should do in php to get around this is to just create a function with all the optional values set to defaults that way they only get used if you request them.

function constructor(var1, var2=0, var3="string")

This would mean that you can call this function with 1,2, or 3 parameters.

constructor("string");
constructor("string",70);
constructor("string",70,"anotherstring");

If you just don't want to use a value if it's not specified then all you have to do is just default it to a value that wouldn't normaly be set to (0 usualy does it) and use a simple if else statement to check for that value.
