    }
}

function useApp(App $app)
{
    //use app somewhere
}

$app = new App();
useApp($app);

Note that a specific type of object was required in the useApp() function, and this type App couldn't be defined if it wasn't a class.

In that case, we can use an anonymous class. Here is the same example given in the PHP7 documentation so that it will be easy for you to follow up:

<?php
