RE: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #9253: Class constructors can't return values

2001-02-15 Thread Nathan Cassano

You can return a value from a class constructor. It's just not that obvious.

class myclass {

function myclass() {

if($err){
$this = $err;
return;
}
}

}

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.

If Nathan's suggestion is not just an unreliable side effect, maybe this
should be documented. (ie changed from Feature/Change request)

regards,

Alan.
