I like this method of concatinating methods by returning $this. It makes my code more readable. If
the returned value is not an object it will fail and you find mistakes easier.
<?php
class Dummy {
private $result;
function __construct()
{
$this->result =
$this
->setStuff('abc')
->generateResult()
;
}
function setStuff($value)
{
// do something
return $this;
}
function generateResult()
{
return ['the result'];
}
function getResult()
{
return $this->result;
}
}
?>
