A change like this requires going through the RFC process. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-04-11 21:02:46] matteo_tassinari_TM at libero dot it Description: ------------ I would like to suggest to implement anonymous class declaration as done in Java, while maintaining compatibility with current syntax. Currently, in order to extend a class or implement an interface, you would need to write: new class (construct params) extends Base implements Interface { ... } however, this could be simplified as new MyClass { .. } as equivalent to new class() extends MyClass { ... } or else new MyInterface { ... } as equivalent to new class() implements MyInterface { ... } This would also help better those with a Java background use them, even if it is just syntactinc sugar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72007&edit=1
