PHP equivalent to super()?

PHP Code:

<?php

class SuperClass {

var $mySuperClassVar;

function SuperClass($myVar) {
$this->mySuperClassVar = $myVar;
echo "super class var = $myVar<p>";
}

}

class SubClass extends SuperClass {

var $mySubClassVar;

function SubClass($myVar) {
// super('hello world?')???
$this->mySubClassVar = $myVar;
echo "sub class var = $myVar<p>";
}

}

$obj =& new SubClass('what is up with your bad self');

?>

hello world
what is up with your bad self

I am interested in finding out if PHP has an equivalent to the Java
"super" keyword that evokes methods or constructor of the class'
parent class. I can't find anything online on this and hoped maybe
one of you guys came up with a nice workaround for this in PHP 4.3.2+
that I could learn. Or point me in the right, open-source, direction
for me to figure this out.

Thanx
Phil

Ah, that's why I couldn't find it, it wasn't identified as PHP version
of the Java "super" keyword that I could find on the page, thanx

It is not the function of the PHP manual (or any other language manual for
that matter) to identify the equivalent terminology in Java. That is why
searching the manual using Java keywords is not a good idea.
