Not exactly the same but look at closure and traits support in 5.4.

Would be nice to have this in Php 5.4 (or a latter version)

David,  I do not believe you are understanding the request here.

I believe this is more what is being requested.

class Base {
   private $name;
   public function __construct($name) {
      $this->name = $name;
   }
   public function test() {
      return $this->name;
   }
}

$obj = new class extends Base {
     public function test() {
        return '<'.$this->name.'>';
     }
};

echo $obj->test();

Basically similar to that of anonymous functions introduced in PHP 5.3

The benefits of anonymous classes are twofold:

a) efficiency of code
b) efficiency of use of resources

consider:

$Div = new DivElement($InnerHTML = 'hello');
$Div->display();

versus:

(new DivElement( $InnerHTML = 'hello'))->display();

Lines of unnecessary code are saved, plus memory is allocated more efficiently.

This is especially useful for objects that merely appear for a single purpose 
and then vanish.
