Instantiate and call a method in one line

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

Nope, sorry, this unfortunately doesn't work in PHP. You could work around it by using a static factory method or something like that though.

Answer 2

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();

Answer 3

Try if this works for you. It calls the function from the class not an object.

User::get_name();
