note 61388 added to language.oop

In case you would like to interrupt object construction on some condition and return false for further checking: <?php class Foo { // Constructor function Foo() { /* Some inits here */ $someval=false; if ($someval===false) { return false; } } } $obj=new Foo(); // This won't work and will return partially initialised object instead of false class Bar { // Constructor function Bar() { /* Some inits here */ $someval=false; if ($someval===false) { $this=false; return; } } } $obj2=new Bar(); // This will work as expected and return false ?> Hope this helps some people. ---- Server IP: 195.136.184.34 Probable Submitter: 213.25.213.102 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61388 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61388&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61388&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61388&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61388&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61388&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61388&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61388&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61388&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
