Note Submitter: ckoschmied at web dot de ---- Be aware of the fact that if you create a new instance of a class like this: $instance = new Class(); $instance will not contain a valid reference to the newly created object until the constructor is finished. So don't use $instance while the constructor is still running. Well, on the other side, why would you want to do it? I wanted to, and it took me some hours to figure out. Even though it's quite obvious if you think about it :-)
