How can the issue of re-assigning $this in a PHP class be resolved?

When re-assigning $this in a PHP class, it can lead to unexpected behavior and errors. To resolve this issue, it is recommended to avoid re-assigning $this and instead use a different variable name to store the reference to the current object. 

class MyClass {
    private $myVar;

    public function __construct($value) {
        $this->myVar = $value;
    }

    public function updateVar($newValue) {
        $obj = $this; // Store reference to current object in a different variable
        $obj->myVar = $newValue;
    }
}
