* [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[C++]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], [[ActionScript]], {{nowrap|[[PHP]] 4}}, and [[MATLAB]] have a naming convention in which constructors have the same name as the class with which they are associated.
* In [[Rust (programming language)|Rust]], the convention for the "constructor" is to name it <code>new()</code>.
* In PHP 5, a recommended name for a constructor is <code>__construct</code>. For backwards compatibility, a method with the same name as the class will be called if <code>__construct</code> method can not be found. Since PHP 5.3.3, this works only for non-namespaced classes.<ref name="php5cpnstructor">[http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php Constructors and Destructors], from PHP online documentation</ref>
* In PHP 7, you should always name the constructor as <code>__construct</code>. Methods with the same name as the class will trigger an E_DEPRECATED level error.<ref name="php5cpnstructor"/>
