Is it safe to do the following:

PHP Code:


			
abstract class Db_Adapter_Abstract {
    public function __construct($config) {
        $this->connect($config);
    }

    abstract protected function connect($config);
}

It works since I've tested it. But I have this funny feeling on how it shouldn't be done. Since all my database adapters will have a common constructor, I figure it's alright to do.

What are your thoughts?

Thank you.
