in PHP5 you can define constructor using

[PHP]function __construct()[/PHP]

this goes with the base as well as sub classes. You should keep in mind, that parent constructors are not automatically called when making an instance of a child class(unlike java).

You can find this thread relevant to parent/child constructor discussion, Here

It would be good/easy if you paste you code in here ..

Cheers !!

Function overloading in the true OOP sense is not supported in PHP.
There is the _get _set _call method overloading.

These methods will only be triggered when your object or inherited object doesn't contain the member or method you're trying to access

Why would anyone want to do that?
Anyway, if you want to cheat overloading a constructor C++ style
you could call secondary functions within the constructor depending on a condition.
Remember a constructor cannot return a user variable.
