object->method1()->method2 ???

[Kareem]

Hi

Could anybody tell me how I can use an objects method if I got the object as a result of another method?

Example:

Instead of doing
$obj=object->getAnotherObject();
$obj->methodX();

I want to do $object->getAnotherObject()->methodX();

While I'm using this all the time in Java I can't get it working this way with PHP?

Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks

Are you using PHP 4? If so, you're just out of luck, because it doesn't support method chaining. Sorry.

However, if you use PHP 5, then the example you posted should work perfectly.

Thank you!

Well I guess it's definitly time to switch to PHP 5...
