I think the first one is preferable: it's better to write for php5 and keep a backward compatibility for php4

Actually, I would use neither because defining two potential constructors generates a E_STRICT notice in PHP5. I would only define one constructor, PHP4 style.

Note that I would strongly advise pondering the development of a PHP4 application considering its imminent death. OOP is a real pain in PHP4 and you wouldn't exploit any of PHP5's strengths.
