[PHP] OO function overloading?

[Greg Beaver]

Hi,

This statement isn't entirely correct, overloading is possible with the
overload extension.

True. Nice work. But still a hack in my mind :) (though a *very* clean
hack).

Or, if you'd rather not use an experimental extension, there's this hack
(learned from [url]http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/luis20000420.php3):[/url]

class MyClass{

function MyClass(){
$name = 'MyClass' . func_num_args();
$this->$name();
}

function MyClass1($x){
}

function MyClass2($x,$y){
}

function MyClass3($x,$y,$z){
}

//etc.
}
