__construct() vs SameAsClassName() for constructor in PHP

Question

Is there any advantage to using __construct() instead of the class\'s name for a constructor in PHP?

Example (__construct):

Answer 1

In your example Foo::Foo is sometimes called a PHP 4 or old-style constructor because it comes from the days of PHP 4:

class Foo {
    // PHP 4 constructor
    function Foo(){
        //do stuff
    }
}

PHP 4 constructors will be deprecated but not removed in PHP 7. They will be no longer be considered as constructors in any situation in PHP 8. Future compatibility is definitely a big reason to not use this feature.
