Subject: Method/Function chaining?
From: dan@ostrowski.cc ("Dan Ostrowski")

Hello. 
 
Excuse my ignorance on this, but I can't seem to find the answer I'm 
looking for online... Will PHP5 be able to do "chaining" as some other 
languages are able to do? 
 
In other words... 
------------------------------ 
<?php 
 
class A 
{ 
    function A() { print "made an A...<br>\n"; } 
    function getB() { return new B(); } 
} 
 
class B 
{ 
    function B() { print "made a B...<br>\n"; } 
    function shout() { print "hey!!"; } 
} 
 
$a = &new A(); 
 
$a->getB()->shout(); 
 
?> 
---------------------------- 
 
This kind of polymorphism is something I'm used to, and I'm hoping it 
won't result in a parse error in PHP5. =)
