note 124026 added to language.oop5.anonymous

The only way to type hint this would appear to be as object. If you need multiple instances of an anonymous class in a function you can use: $class = function(string $arg):object { return new class($arg) { public function __construct(string $arg) { $this->ow = $arg; } }; }; Though for the sake of structure it's ill advised to do something like this outside of a single scope or that's used across multiple files. If you class is only used in one scope however then it's probably not a code mess problem. ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 185.85.3.195 (proxied: 89.197.178.10) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.anonymous.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/124026 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124026/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124026/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124026/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124026/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124026/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124026/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124026 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/124026 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
