Can you have nested classes in PHP?

I'm not talking about inheritance. And I'm not talking about nested objects. I'm talking:

System::Web::Templating(...)

kind of nesting. These are classes of which you shouldn't create instances.. so...

It seems that you're speaking about namespaces, not about any kind of nesting. This feature was implemented in PHP 5.3, and is documented here.

No.

However, you could do something like this by returning an instantiated object in getInstance():

myClass::getInstance()->foo();
