Call an object function returned by a method within php

There is any syntax to use something like this?:

<?php

function get_foo() {
    return new Foo();
}

get_foo()->foo_method();

?>

yeah PHP has this syntax, if a function returns an object, then you may call the objects property or method appended to the function's call exactly as it is in your question

Using PHP 5.3 this works fine for me:

<?php

class Foo
{
    public function foo_method()
    {
        print 'hi';
    }
}

function get_foo()
{
    return new Foo();
}

get_foo()->foo_method();

prints hi

Stuff like this is used all over the place for database wrappers since you can do db()->query($sql) without any trouble.
