PHP OOP structure

Question

I'm trying to improve my OOP skill. Recently, I've read an article that has this code structure:

$this->getUserInfo()->display();

When I code, I just do something like this:

$this->getUserInfo();

How do I do something like the above..."multiple-passing" or whatever it's called. I think it's cool if I can make my code be able to do that...just looking at the code...I'm impressed.

Can somebody post a code something replicating the above...I want to try it too. I want to learn how^^

Thanks!

Also known as "fluent interface" (but that has multiple meanings, and "method chaining" is technically more correct). — mario

Yep...it's much more easier to learn if you know what it's called in the first place. Google is just around the corner :D Thanks GUYS! — Woppi

The trick is to simply return an object from the getUserInfo() method, often the method returns the object it belongs to, i.e. $this.

function getUserInfo() {
    // do something
    return $this;
}
