Here is the other example that I worked up. <plaintext><?php class Math { function __construct() { } function in($num=null) { if ( is_null($num) ) { echo "A number was not given on initialization."; exit; } $this->value = $num; return $this; } function out() { echo $this->value; } function get() { return $this->value; } function add($n) { $this->value += $n; return $this; } function subtract($n) { $this->value -= $n; return $this; } function multiply($n) { $this->value *= $n; return $this; } function divide($n) { $this->value /= $n; return $this; } } $mObj = new Math(); $mObj->in(10)->add(90)->divide(5.3)->multiply(10)->out(); ?>
