If you use swig tricks (and I forget what they are now) to give the
overloaded constructors different names, swig will still realise they are
constructors and you can invoke them as class methods in php

$new_object=Class::renamed_constructor("blah");

and still get a new instance.

I made it support the default constructor as a class method that returns a
new instance.
