    Hello,
    I had a question concerning overloading in PHP, which is not possible.
    Is there an elegant way to do this? I read s.th. about using the factory pattern with a private constructor.

    The background is this, I have a User class and I want to differentiate between the current user, with no constructor-parameter (I fetch the id from the session) and with an other user, with one parameter: __construct($id)?

    Thanks, iago

    try

    __construct($id=null)

    then if id is null you have to search the session.
