PHP doesn't like this:

PHP Code:


			// where someclass is a class and somemember is a member function of that class
$o = new someclass()->somemember();

Doesn't like the ->. If PHP wants to really compete against bigger languages like ASP it needs to have some basics like this and function overloading and other little bits that people come to expect.

-> = pointer?

Equivalent to . in Java/C++ when accessing an object's methods.

shouldn't it be like that:

PHP Code:


			$o = new someclass()
$o->somemember();

Yeah but I was hoping you could take a shortcut like most other languages...
