Note that $this cannot be reassigned, because most instance functions would not work. So this code throws a fatal error : <?php class Foo { function reassign() { // This line triggers an E_ERROR $this = new Foo(); } } $example = new Foo(); $example->reassign(); ?> ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 2a02:cb43:e::301 (proxied: 2a01:e35:243a:dc10:d8ac:8f2e:6361:8dd3) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/123493 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123493/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123493/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123493/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123493/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123493/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123493/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123493 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/123493 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
