b_viguier, 3 months ago French TIL: in #Php, you can create a new instance (not a clone) of an object from an existing instance with the following syntax: $a1 = new A(); $a2 = new $a1(); Very convenient with anonymous classes! Just a bit confusing if you expect $a1() to call the A::__invoke magic method (because it won’t)

sarah, 3 months ago French @b_viguier @theseer I would probably limit this only to anonymous classes just to keep the code clean. I wouldn’t have known what this did just by looking at it in context.

theseer, 3 months ago @sarah me neither :-)
@sarah me neither :-)
b_viguier, 3 months ago French @sarah @theseer I do agree! This syntax is maybe more explicit: $a2 = new ($a1::class)();
