How do I implement a construct function on public function?

Question

Hi I have a problem where I just can't figure out how to implement a construct function on this php that I have here:

class zendesk{

private $client;

function __construct() {

public function sync_organisations() {
    $loader = require LIBPATH . 'vendor/autoload.php';
    $loader->setPsr4("GuzzleHttp\\", APPPATH . '../vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src/');

    $subdomain = "Name";
    $username  = "[email protected]"; // replace this with your registered email
    $token     = "token"; // replace this with your token

    $client = new ZendeskAPI($subdomain);
    $client->setAuth('basic', ['username' => $username, 'token' => $token]);}

Could somebody show me how to implement a public function __construct() {?

Thanks in advance for the help!

it's not clear what you are asking. The simple answer would be public function __construct(){} but I doubt this is (all) you are asking for. Maybe add how you want to use this class zendesk!? — Jeff

@Jeff thank you for your comment. I will change the question! — noah f

An empty constructor does nothing so it does beg the question - which @Jeff also asks - why do you need a constructor, what work do you want to do inside it? Normally a constructor exists so you can pass values in or do initialisation work when you create your object. — Darragh Enright

PHP Constructors and Destructors

To create a Constructor in PHP use:

public function __construct() {
  //Code
}

So for example if you want to call your function sync_organisations() in the constructor, you could do following:

class zendesk{

    private $client;

    public function __construct() {
        $this->sync_organisations();
    }

    public function sync_organisations() {
        $loader = require LIBPATH . 'vendor/autoload.php';
        ...
    }
}

A small point - sync_organisations(); should be $this->sync_organisations();
