php - What's the difference between __construct() and init()

Question

I was wondering what is the difference between __construct() and init() functions in a PHP application, more particularly in a Zend Framework application.

question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3747114/whats-the-difference-between-construct-and-init

Answer 1

init() is called by the constructor.

init() isn't defined in the specification of PHP, it's only a method available with the Zend Framework to help initialize without having to rewrite the constructor yourself.
