Pass data in php constructor to class

Question

I have a question of how to send the data to create a goal, I read in some tutorials that was just put this way in PHP4:

$elo1=new Elo(1300);
$elo1->fc_Elo();

However the way I saw in some places of the web, it gets very extensive the code, has some way as in the middle above for the current version of PHP?

This is the original code that’s working:

    class Elo{
        public $mmr;

        function fc_Elo(){
            if($this->mmr == 1300){
                echo "Teste".$this->mmr;
            }
            else{
                echo "1".$this->mmr;
            }
        }
    }

    $elo1=new Elo;
    $elo1->mmr = 1300;
    $elo1->fc_Elo();

To pass value in the constructor, use the method __Construct().

class Elo{
   public $name;
   public $sexo;
   public $mmr;

    public function __construct($nome, $sexo){
       $this->name = $nome;
       $this->sexo = $sexo;        
    }

   public function fc_Elo(){
      if($this->mmr == 1300){
         echo "Teste".$this->mmr;
      }else{
         echo "1".$this->mmr;
      }
  }
}

$elo = new Elo('teste', '3x semana');
echo $elo->name .' - '. $elo->sexo;
