Thanks, but that was simply an example. It could've been any (even user
defined) class.

As a workaround, you can do:
print date_create('now')->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'), "\n";

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
