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

No, this is not possible.
You need to assign the instance to a variable before you can call any of it's methods.

If you really wan't to do this you could use a factory as ropstah suggests:

class ObjFactory{
  public static function newObj(){
      return new Obj();
  }
}
ObjFactory::newObj()->method();
