You cannot do it exactly the same as in Java, but you don't really
need to worry about doing that in PHP. If you want, you can initialize
it with "$Client = new XML_RPC_Client();" but that's unnecessary. You
might as well just do "private $Client;" to make the field and then
"$Client = new XML_RPC_Client();" in a method. If you are concerned
because you are taking the object as an argument and setting $Client
to that, you can be selective with your arguments (in PHP5+) like:

public function setClient( XML_RPC_Client $argClient )
{
$this->Client = $argClient;
}

Note that you don't need to use =& in PHP5.
