I'm usually a lurker on here, but thought I'd through in my 2p on this
one...
Delphi (Object Pascal) has a similar feature, that I've had some
experience of using, and I never liked it. Why? Because it only leads to
confusion, mainly because the separation of object and method leaves you
unsure of what is actually being called.
Consider the following:
function do()
{
echo "hello";
}
$class=new class;
with($class)
{
do_something();
do_more();
do();
}
Now, within my with(), am I calling the class method do() or the
function do()? Not clear at first glance.
And the whole thing gets even more complex if you can start nesting
with() constructs.
I suspect this wouldn't be trivial to implement, and for me it doesn't
add any value - only potential confusion.

Subject: [PHP-DEV] new feature -> with()
hi,
i think it would be really handy to introduce the with() feature from
JavaScript (and probably other OOP languages) into php. so for sample
the following
---------------------------
$class=new class;
$class->do_something();
$class->do_more();
$class->do();
---------------------------
could be made easier and more readable:
---------------------------
$class=new class;
with($class)
{
do_something();
do_more();
do();
}
---------------------------
greetings
Sebastian
