Codeigniter constructors. What is the difference?

Question

I see two types of contructors in CI. For instance...

class Blog extends CI_Controller
{
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }
}
         


        

Answer 1

php 5 has changed the way constructors are called and used and you should use the second option. I think this is not specific to codeigniter and general to php5
