fluent.php

<?php
class Fluent {

  function __construct($cache) {
    $this->cache = ($cache ? $cache : []);
  }

  // Build the cache, and handle special cases
  public function _($name) {
    array_push($this->cache, $name);
    return new Fluent($this->cache);
  }

  // Final method call
  public function method() {
    return $this->cache;
  }

  // Reflection
  public function __call($name, $args) {
    return $this->_($name);
  }
}

$fluent = new Fluent;
$chain = $fluent->hello()->world();
print_r($chain->method());
// 'for' demonstrates handling special cases
$new_chain = $chain->thanks()->_("for")->all()->the()->fish();
print_r($new_chain->method());
