Object Creation Question

[themire]

Hi,

Just a simple question about creating objects:

What's the difference between

$var = new myObject();

and

$vary = new myObject;

Is it a different way of calling constructors or something?

I think they're equivalent.

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
class test
{
   var $test = "test";
   function test($test="test")
   {
      $this->test = $test;
   }
}
$t1 = new test("Hello, world!");
echo $t1->test."\n";
$t2 = new test();
echo $t2->test."\n";
$t3 = new test;
echo $t3->test."\n";
?>

Outputs:

Hello, world!
test
test

Note that if you make the parameter for the constructor required (delete the ="test" from the delcaration), then both $t2 and $t3 generate a "missing argument" error; so there seems to be no difference.
