Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Operating System: winxpsp2 / Apache 2
PHP Version: 5.2.5
New Comment:
don't know... i think it can be useful in some cases... for example:
$a = new A();
$b = new B();
$c = new C();
$d = new D();
$e = new E();
$f = new F();
$g = new G();
$h = new H();
$i = new I();
// ... a lot of codelines that can be removed
$obj->add(
$a->method1()->method2()->method3(),
$b->method1()->method2()->method3(),
$c->method1()->method2()->method3(),
$d->method1()->method2()->method3(),
...
);
instead, with this feature, the code can be a lot shorter
$obj->add(
new A()->method1()->method2()->method3(),
new B()->method1()->method2()->method3(),
new C()->method1()->method2()->method3(),
new D()->method1()->method2()->method3(),
...
);
it is not indispensable, but i can, and my applications too, really
appreciate this feature, instance objects and use methods in the same
row

As far as I am concerned this just makes the code harder to read. What
do you actually gain vs. just doing:
$obj = new TestPhp();
$obj->method1()->method2();
And it gets really confusing if the functions don't return $this since
then $obj wouldn't necessarily be the actual instantiated object. I
guess we can leave it as a feature request, but unless some other
developer takes a liking to this, I doubt it will happen.

Description:
------------
Hello,
i'm asking for a feature change in PHP
in java this code works nice
MyClass object = new MyClass().someMethod();
in php not too.
It is possible make working this syntax?
thank you [for creating my favourite language] :)
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
/* JAVA CODE:
class TestPhp
{
public TestPhp()
{System.out.print("Construct ");}
public TestPhp method1()
{System.out.print("Method1 "); return this;}
public TestPhp method2()
{System.out.print("Method2 "); return this;}
public static void main(String []args)
{TestPhp obj = new TestPhp().method1().method1();}
}
*/
class TestPhp
{
public function __construct()
{echo("Construct ");}
public function method1()
{echo("Method1 "); return $this;}
public function method2()
{echo("Method2 "); return $this;}
public static main()
{$obj = new TestPhp()->method1()->method2();}
}
TestPhp::main();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Construct Method1 Method2
Actual result:
--------------
(Fatal Error)
