title: php newbie question: classes
body: <p>i'm new to php and am wondering - is it possible to initialize a class with parameters?
  like <code>$obj = new myClass('myID');</code></p>
  
  <p>i've tried but it gave me an error.</p>
  
  <p>maybe someone can point me to some good tutorials.</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
