Combine a PHP Statement

How can I combine the following into one statment?

PHP Code:


$tableCreator = new tableCreator;

$table = $tableCreator->createJSTable();

Thanks

Don't think you can. First line creates an instance of an object, the second uses that new object to call a method which creates another object.

that is a terrible reason. It is 1 extra line...

Answer to original question: no.

It's a perfectly valid reason.

This approach requires that the method is declared static.
