Question

For example record like this: property3->property2->property1 is understood for me, this means that property of class, is object of another class, for example:

class a {
        public $property1 = "some";
}


class b {
    function __construct () {
        $this->property2 = new a();
    }           
}

$obj = new b();
echo $obj->property2->property1;

this understood. but I can not understood records like this: method1()->method2()->method3()

can you post simple example, who using these records?

Answer 1

A simple example :

class A {

  function fooA() {
    echo "a...";
    return $this;
  }

  function fooB() {
    echo "b...";
    return $this;
  }

  function fooC() {
   echo "c...";
  }
}

$a = new A();
$a->fooA()->fooB()->fooC();

Or with several classes :

class A
{
  private $b;

  public function __construct()
  {
    $this->b = new B();
  }

  public function fooA()
  {
    echo "A...";
    return $this->b;
  }

}

class B
{

  public function fooB()
  {
    echo "B...";
  }

}

$a = new A();
$a->fooA()->fooB();
