[TYPO3-dev] Instantiating a cObject

[Brian Slezak]

Bernhard, Ernesto,

You both make very good suggestions, and I am using this method where 
appropriate. In this case, I need to pass an array to the cObject, which I 
can not do with this method. I am implementing the class as a USER cObject 
though, to keep the configuration of it flexible. (My example did not 
explain this properly.)

My goal is to keep the PHP implementation simple, down to one statement.

Brian
