Why does the model return an object?

Question

PHP

The code:

class newsView
{
    public function __construct($model)
    {
        //Это пришло из конструктора модели
        var_dump($model);
    }

    public function listmodel() {
        return 1;
    }
}

class newsModel
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        return 'Это вернула newsModel';
    }
}

class My
{
    public function showdata()
    {
        $model = new newsModel;
        $view = new newsView($model);
        $result = $view->listmodel();
        return $result;
    }
}
$obj = new My();
$res = $obj->showdata();

The response var_dump($model);shows:

object(newsModel)#32 (0) {
}

What's the point, why not a string? And where is the phrase

This returned newsModel

?

Answer 1

The fact is that a constructor is designed to return an object and returns a new object implicitly, so there is no point in trying to return something through the constructor. There will always be an object
