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.

Another request for anonymous classes. Without support for anonymous classes, it can sometimes be
necessary to create hundreds of named, and rarely used, classes. Anonymous classes are often used
for quick instances that are created and destroyed quickly, so a performance hit is reasonable.

Description:
------------
Just voicing my opinion that it would be nice to be able to create anonymous inner classes as in
Java.
Or put another way, I wish something like the reproduce code would work. This looks much better than
creating and naming a global class that has some trivial purpose, like the one in the example.
Reproduce code:
---------------
if(! is_object($this->movie))
{
$this->movie = new __Object()
{
public function __call($name, $args)
{
return false;
}
};
}
