How _should_ this be done? In terms of "best practice".

<?php

Or:

<?php
function barfoo ()
{
    $tempvar = new SomeObject;
    return $tempvar
}

Please don't reply if you really, really don't know what you are talking
about.
Some earlier versions of PHP5 would not allow returning by reference of 
a function call or a new call. It was very recently added, but may not 
be in RC2 (not sure). You had to assign to a variable before you returned.

Here's my 2c:

function &foobar() {
  return new SomeObject;
}
