note 42636 added to language.oop

Check out the following code: class A { function foo() {} } function getA() {return new A;} getA()->foo(); I'm using PHP 4 and it doesn't allow me to call functions on objects returned by any kind of function. Is this changed in PHP 5? Is there any way around this? This stinks because it makes using accessor functions that return objects annoying to use in certain cases (you have to temporarily store the return value in the above case). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42636 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42636&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42636&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
