What is the difference between __construct () and init ()

I was wondering what is the difference between __construct() and init() functions in a PHP application, more particularly in a Zend Framework application.

init() is called by the constructor.

init() isn't defined in the specification of PHP, it's only a method available with the Zend Framework to help initialize without having to rewrite the constructor yourself.
