This method will return the parent's constructor, if the current class does not override it.

NULL will only be returned when the class has no constructor AND none of its parents have a constructor either.

Just posting some example code for anyone wanting to mess around with this stuff:

<?php

class Say
{
private
$what_to_say;
public function
__construct($no_default, $word = "Hello World", $options = array('a', 'b'))
{
$this->what_to_say = $word;
}

public function
speak()
{
echo
$this->what_to_say;
}
}

$class = new ReflectionClass('Say');

$constructor = $class->getConstructor();

echo
$constructor;

/* OUTPUTS:

Method [ <user, ctor> public method __construct ] {
@@ /reflect.php 6 - 9

- Parameters [3] {
Parameter #0 [ <required> $no_default ]
Parameter #1 [ <optional> $word = 'Hello World' ]
Parameter #2 [ <optional> $options = Array ]
}
}

*/

$parameters = $constructor->getParameters();

var_export($parameters);

/* OUTPUT:

0 =>
ReflectionParameter::__set_state(array(
'name' => 'no_default',

2 =>
ReflectionParameter::__set_state(array(
'name' => 'options',

)

*/

$nl = "\n";
echo
"$nl\tParameters$nl";
foreach(
$parameters as $param)
{
echo
"****** $" . $param->name . " ******$nl";
echo
"Nullable:\t\t" . $param->allowsNull() . $nl
."Default Value:\t\t";
echo (
$param->isDefaultValueAvailable()) ? $param->getDefaultValue() : "None";
echo
$nl ."Is Array:\t\t";
echo (
$param->isArray()) ? "Yes" : "No";
echo
$nl . "Optional:\t\t";
echo (
$param->isOptional()) ? "Yes" : "No";
echo
$nl;
}

/* OUTPUT:

To clarify the possibly confusing behavior of ReflectionParemeter::isArray(), it will return true if the parameter has type hinting:

<?php
...
public function
__construct($no_default, $word = "Hello World", array $options = array('a', 'b'))
...
?>

Calling isArray() will now return true for the $options parameter

Old constructors also count as contructor:

<?php

class SomeClass {

function
SomeClass($some_arg) {
}

}

$refl = new ReflectionClass('SomeClass');

var_dump($refl->isInstantiable()); // bool(true)

echo $refl->getConstructor();

/* OUTPUT:
Method [ <user, ctor> public method SomeClass ] {
@@ /var/www/vhosts/api.example.com/httpdocs/testRefl.php 5 - 6

- Parameters [1] {
Parameter #0 [ <required> $some_arg ]
}
}
*/

?>

Some more behavior:

<?php

class SomeClass {

function
funcA($arg1, $arg2) {

}

}

$refl = new ReflectionClass('SomeClass');

var_dump($refl->isInstantiable()); // bool(true)

var_dump($refl->getConstructor()); // NULL

/* --------------- */

class AnotherClass {

private function
__construct() {
}

function
funcB($arg1, $arg2) {

}

}

$refl = new ReflectionClass('AnotherClass');

var_dump($refl->isInstantiable()); // bool(false)

echo $refl->getConstructor();
/*
Method [ <user, ctor> private method __construct ] {
@@ /testRefl.php 22 - 23
}
*/

?>

Tested on PHP 5.2.4
