Are Parent constructors called implicitly inside a class constructor?

In PHP, parent constructors are not called implicitly inside a class constructor. If you want to call a parent constructor within a child class, you need to do so explicitly using the parent::__construct() syntax. Here’s an example to illustrate this:

<?php
class ParentClass {

    }
}

// Creating an instance of ChildClass
$child = new ChildClass();
?>
