Operating system: 
PHP version:      5.3.3
Package:          Scripting Engine problem
Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Allow creating object without variable assignment and calling 
method inline

Description:
------------
In other languages I can do things like this, but PHP5 barfs when I try to
do it:

print (new DateTime('now'))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')



Instead I have to use a temporary variable:

$x = new DateTime('now');

print $x->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

unset($x);



Test script:
---------------
php -r "print (new DateTime('now'))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')" 

Expected result:
----------------
The date+time stamp.



Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in Command
line code on line 1
