Using an anonymous class instance via the scope resolution operator does not appear to call the constructor method of the class. Thus, any "stuff" set up within a constructor method (the method called when creating a new instance of a class) will not get set up using anonymous classes. So for example something like this <?php Class A{ var $thing; function A( $this->thing = "hello"; ) function get ($var){ return $this->$var; } } echo A::get('thing'); ?> will not print anything as A::thing does not get "set up" outside of the constructor. You would have to create an instance of class A to get any value for A::thing. For example: <?php $a = new A(); echo $a->get('thing'); ?> (prints "hello") This is based on my observations and not from any official documentation. I may be wrong about the details. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/keyword.paamayim-nekudotayim.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56356 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56356&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56356&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56356&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56356&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56356&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56356&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56356&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
