New Comment:
My guess is that anonymous classes would have a good chance once a good
implementation comes by. This is not completely trivial as the class_entry has
to be stored in the class_table but has to be somewhat hidden and we might have
to find a way to hide the information in the oparray.
As all things in PHP this needs a volunteer to do it. All contributors have
sometime X to work on PHP and in time X can either discuss stuff, fix bugs or
implement features ... but with some guidance this might be a nice project for
a newcomer (I'd volunteer to give a hand to point in the right direction etc.,
while this guarantees acceptance in no way as that would need an RFC etc.)
until then we have to live with workarounds.
For the PageController interface example an (work-around) alternative is
$page_controller = [
'get' => function () {},
'post' => function () {}
};

Anonymous classes in Java are convenient when used with Interfaces. In PHP,
this
could help with MVC frameworks. Say all pages had a class that implemented
PageController:
[some_page.php]
$page_controller = new PageInterface() {
function doGet() {}
function doPost() {}
};
A current workaround would be using a factory or constructor to which you pass
required methods, and not using an interface. It works, but then you have to
deal with missing methods in application logic where you could otherwise just
handle an error.

Not exactly the same but look at closure and traits support in 5.4.

Would be nice to have this in Php 5.4 (or a latter version)
