Using Instance of a Class

Archives Yii 1.0.x Discussions

Hello,

If I have written a new class and typically use it by doing something like:

$instance = new MyClass;


$instance->getWhatever;

I remember seeing somewhere out here where this can be executed using one line code rather than the 2 above.  Something like Yii::->MyClass->getWhatever, but I can't seem to find anything out here.  Am I correct in that this can be done without having to first create an instance and then use the instance?

Thanks,

R

Are you referring to application component? You can configure it in 'components' and then use it with Yii::app()->componentName->methodName().

If not, you can use Yii::createComponent('MyClass')->methodName();

That is what I was looking for.  Thanks Qiang!
