As nested classes are no longer supported, I guess this could be
closed.

<?php
class A { class B { } }
?>
^D
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_FUNCTION in

The version is actually the 4.3.0 zend2 alpha2.
I'm wondering if it is possible to return an instance of a subclass
from a constructor. For example:
class test1
{
class test2
{
function prt_test()
{
echo("testing!!!");
}
}
function __construct()
{
return new test2();
}
}
$test_obj = new test1();
$test_obj->prt_test();
?>
Let's say that I want to parent class to choose one of it's children to
actually provide the functionality based on some selection criteria.
This isn't a big issue since I can just use a function seperate from
the constructor to accompolish roughly the same thing. I'm just
wondering if this is something that was considered or encountered
already.
Thanks...
