Chaining in php
Chaining has become a popular technique in javascript libraries such as jquery. The following code contains chaining:
$('table#portfolio tbody tr:odd').addClass('odd').parent()
.addClass('table').find('ul').addClass('hightlight');
We can do the same with PHP very easily. All you need to do is return the current object, thus allowing chaining.
class Basic
{
function add(Object $object) {
$this->objects[] = $object;
return $this;
}
}
$basic = new Basic;
$basic->add($name)->add($email)->add($phone);
Add chaining in your PHP code to limit the lines of code that are needed for your components. Concise code is good code.
