I'm sure I'm a pea-brain, but this caught my attention. So you execute the fetchObjects() method which could return a large number of objects, then you reference a method of the 0th one. I didn't test, but why not use: $object->fetchObjects(0)->method(); Where fetchObjects($id) returns the object referenced by $id instead of all? -Shawn echo $object->fetchObjects()[0]->method(); Stijn Leenknegt wrote: > Hello > > I've an idea for PHP6.
