1.2.799. No Constructor In Interface

PHP manual recommends not adding constructors to interfaces.

‘Although they are supported, including constructors in interfaces is strongly discouraged. Doing so significantly reduces the flexibility of the object implementing the interface. Additionally, constructors are not enforced by inheritance rules, which can cause inconsistent and unexpected behavior.’

```

```

<?php

interface with {
    function __construct();
}

?>
