I found this in the docs... If you want your constructor to possibly not create the object
class A { function A() { // ... // some error occurred $this = null; return; } } I tested it, it works great. Then I read on... Setting $this to null isn't available in PHP 4.3.3R3 anymore. Maybe in version below also. Great! :/ I have 4.3.2, so I guess it would work for me. If this "feature" has been removed, can someone show me a good way to indicate a failure on object instantiation?
