PDO Constructor Overloading

As of few minutes ago PDO extension allows constructor overloading, which is something a lot of people had asked for. This means that you can do things like this:

PHP:



<?php



class myDB extends PDO {

     public function __construct() {

           parent::__construct("DSN", "login","pass");

     }

}



?>

Keep in mind that if you don't call the original PDO constructor via parent::__construct() an error will be generated, so exercise caution when using this feature.
