Hi there,
Just wondering if there is any plans for more work on the PHP OO features,
and/or the parser in relation to these features. Generally I find the PHP
OO features to be quite useful, but there is some major limitations which
often frustrate me at times, for example:
$result = $object->method()->returnedObject->anotherMethod();
That won't work with PHP as it is now. Instead, you'd have to do this:
$returnedObject = $object->method();
$result = $returnedObject->anotherMethod();
:(
Seems like a simple annoyance, right? Well some code I'm working on would
work best like this:
$object->getSomething()->getSomething()->getSomething()->addSomething("foo")
;
Instead, all you can do is this:
$result = $object->getSomething();
$result = $result->getSomething();
$result = $result->getSomething();
$result->addSomething("foo");
Again, not good. :(
Another thing is multiple inheritance, or 'implementing' an object, rather
than extending just one. Like this:
class Foo extends Bar implements Eep
{
}
Foo is a subclass of Bar, but *uses* the methods/attributes of Eep.
Yeah, I know, PHP is not at heart an OO language, but I really LIKE PHP! I
don't want to use JSP or something because I think Java is slow and over
complicated. So, is there any chance that these features could be added in
the future at some stage? Please? ;)
Cheers,
Colin.
