In PHP, can you instantiate an object and call a method on the same line?

Question

What I would like to do is something like this:

$method_result = new Obj()->method();

Instead of having to do:

$obj = ne         


        

Answer 1

You can do it more universally by defining an identity function:

function identity($x) {
    return $x;
}

identity(new Obj)->method();

That way you don't need to define a function for each class.
