Today, we'll quickly cover the most popular PHP magic method - __construct.
__construct magic method
PHP allows developers to declare constructor methods for classes. Classes which have a constructor method call this method on each newly-created object, so it is suitable for any initialization that the object may need before it is used.
Using the PHP __construct magic method
<?php
class User
{
public $name;
public function __construct($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
}
}
$timmy = new User('Timmy');
echo $timmy->name;
// "Timmy"
