How to get class reference - El Forum - 07-15-2007

I want have a reference a class in class constructor.
By example.
Code:
class Test extends Controller
{
function Test()
{
parent::Controller();
virtual_export('page_get_title', &$this, '_page_get_title');
}
function _page_get_title()
{
return $this->title;
}
}
class Hooker // library
{
function hook_post_controller()
{
virtual_call('page_render');
// ..
}
}
class Page // library
{
function Page()
{
virtual_export('page_render', &$this, 'page_render');
}
function page_render()
{
$title = virtual_call('page_get_title');
// ...
}
}But CI create object like this.
Code:
$CI = new $class();
$CI->$classvar = new $name;If I use reference in class constructor I have copy of object but not reference.
if this were so...
Code:
$CI =& new $class();
$CI->$classvar =& new $name;...then this will be possible.
But I don't know how to get class reference from class constructor.
I there any way to do this?

Assuming php5:
Code:
class Test extends Controller
{
function Test()
{
parent::Controller();
self::$instance =& $this;
return self::$instance;
}
}
