What is the usage of the magic methods __construct() and __destruct(). Are they always required?
Need a nice simple answer to this, it’s a little confusing.
About
__construct(), it gives you the possibility to do some stuff with your newly created object and to overwrite the__construct()method of a parent class.So it might not be required (neither are), but if a class extends another class, it might be required to add for example a constructor to avoid the automatic calling of a parent constructor.
