in their constructor, they have the 'return false' arrggghh!!! a quick look
at google, and it appears that you can't return any val from a constructor.
in fact, the 'object id' that's being returned appears to simply be (as you
stated) the instance of the class that was created... as opposed to a return
val...
If you want to stop the object from being created for any reason (e.g.
connection to database failed) and you're using PHP 5, I believe that
you can throw an exception in the constructor.
From http://php.net/language.oop5.basic :
"An object will always be assigned when creating a new object unless the
object has a constructor defined that throws an exception on error."
