Question

Is there a way to instantiate a class and call one of its methods in one line? I hoped the following would work but it doesn’t:

(new User())->get_name();

Answer 1

This is not possible. You could, however, create a static method returning a new instance. Something like:

class User {
    public static function create() {
        return new self();
    }
}

User::create()->get_name();
