Take a look at PEAR::DB for an example of using a factory method (i.e.: $foo = DB::connect($uri); ) For background on why support for reassigning $this was dropped, take a look at http://news.php.net ( php.internals mailing list in particular ) or the ZendEngine2 mailing list which is archived at http://www.zend.com Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-23 13:52:42] js at enradia dot com There is a _LOT_ of code out there using that. Metabase among others. Is there an alternative? This could be a huge problem if there is none. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-23 13:38:14] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This "feature" was undocumented in PHP4 and was never intended to work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-23 13:09:12] js at enradia dot com Description: ------------ When trying to reassign $this (from session data for example) I get an error: Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in... Code used: $this = unserialize($data); This works in php 4. Perhaps this is a feature change but I could not find a reference to any alternatives so I am submitting a bug just in case. Thanks!
