You can return a value from a class constructor. It's just not that obvious.
class myclass {
function myclass() {
if($err){
$this = $err;
return;
}
}
}

Subject: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #9253: Class constructors can't return
values
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Operating system: All
PHP version: 4.0.4pl1
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: Class constructors can't return values
Class constructors can't abort instance creation, for example by returning
false...
This leads to a lot of "if (! $newobj->status)" crap.
Why is that ? I found a message on the PHP3 mailing list about this, but
it's still not there.
