Bug description: Returning from __construct()
The version is actually the 4.3.0 zend2 alpha2.
I'm wondering if it is possible to return an instance of a subclass from a
constructor. For example:
class test1
{
class test2
{
function prt_test()
{
echo("testing!!!");
}
}
function __construct()
{
return new test2();
}
}
$test_obj = new test1();
$test_obj->prt_test();
?>
Let's say that I want to parent class to choose one of it's children to
actually provide the functionality based on some selection criteria.
This isn't a big issue since I can just use a function seperate from the
constructor to accompolish roughly the same thing. I'm just wondering if
this is something that was considered or encountered already.
Thanks...
