    <p>I have a similar code snippet like this</p> <pre><code>class Search { public function search($for, $regEx, $flag) //I would like this to be the constructor { // logic here return $this; } } </code></pre> <p>Then I have another class that creates an object from it, later than tries to use the object.</p> <pre><code>class MyClass { public function start() { $this-&gt;search = new Search(); } public function load() { $this-&gt;search($for, $regEx, $flag); } } </code></pre> <p>My question is, is it possible to create an object first THEN give it the parameters?</p> <p>I know there are some way around this BUT I only ask because I want to use the object like this</p> <pre><code>$this-&gt;search($params); // I have my methods chained, so I could use it in one line like // $this-&gt;search($params)-&gt;hasResults(); if ($this-&gt;search-&gt;hasResults()) { echo 'found stuff'; } else { echo 'didn't find anything'; } </code></pre> <p>The way I have it set up right now, I would need to use it like this</p> <pre><code>$this-&gt;search-&gt;search($params); if ($this-&gt;search-&gt;hasResults()) { echo 'found stuff'; } else { echo 'didn't find anything'; } </code></pre> <p>I have a method called <code>search()</code> that does the logic, and I don't want to be redundant in my naming nor do I want to change the name of the method.</p> <p>I know another way to keep the visual appeal sane I could pass a variable like so</p> <p><code>$search = $this-&gt;search-&gt;search($params);</code></p> <p>then</p> <p><code>$search-&gt;hasResults();</code></p> <p>At the same time I am trying to introduce myself to new OOP concepts and learn from them. Would this require passing things by reference? or setting up some type of magic method?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
