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

David, I do not believe you are understanding the request here.
I believe this is more what is being requested.
class Base {
private $name;
public function __construct($name) {
$this->name = $name;
}
public function test() {
return $this->name;
}
}
$obj = new class extends Base {
public function test() {
return '<'.$this->name.'>';
}
};
echo $obj->test();
Basically similar to that of anonymous functions introduced in PHP 5.3

The benefits of anonymous classes are twofold:
a) efficiency of code
b) efficiency of use of resources
consider:
$Div = new DivElement($InnerHTML = 'hello');
$Div->display();
versus:
(new DivElement( $InnerHTML = 'hello'))->display();
Lines of unnecessary code are saved, plus memory is allocated more efficiently.
This is especially useful for objects that merely appear for a single purpose
and then vanish.

Another request for anonymous classes. Without support for anonymous classes,
it can sometimes be necessary to create hundreds of named, and rarely used,
classes. Anonymous classes are often used for quick instances that are created
and destroyed quickly, so a performance hit is reasonable.
