What is an equivalent to Java's super keyword?

Specifically, I am looking for a way to use the parent's constructor. parent::_constr uctor is not what I am looking for because the constructor is marked as private. Specifically, I'm trying to extend Log4PHP's LoggerLevel function.

then you can’t access the constructor. once it’s labelled private, child classes have no access.
