Hello,


With php4 I did the following in class initialisation :

class base_class {

function modify_polymorphic($otherclass){
$this=new $otherclass();
}

function other_function(){
echo "Base method";
}

}

class herited_class extends base_class {

function other_function(){
echo "Herited method";
}

}

$base=new base_class();
$base->modify_polymorphic("herited_class");
$base->other_function();

This will echo "Herited method" in PHP 4.
But in PHP 5 it does not wand to work at all.
PHP interpreter says :

Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in scriptname.php on line 10
