atrum Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 So, I recently discovered what method chaining is and how it can be used. My question about method chaining is in regards to best practice. What I want to know is what the correct way to implement methods that can be chained are, and what pitfalls will I need to watch out for when using them?

trq Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 There is nothing special about it. Any method that wouldn't normally return a value (setters for example) should simply return $this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrum Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 So there really is no right or wrong way to use them then other than trying to keep them primarily for Setter use. Cool, thank you Thorpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 You can use them on any function that doesn't return a value. It's not exclusive for setters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
