Just return`$this` in every method. This is called fluent interface — Rizier123, May 08 '15 at 15:39
It is! You just have to make sure that the methods a `public` (and variables if you chain those) — Rasclatt, May 08 '15 at 15:40

It is called method chaining. By returning the instance of the itself, it can chain calls.

class Foobar
{ 
   function foo()
   {
      echo 'hi';

      return $this;
   }
}
