Code formatting issue

Is there a way I can make this type of code neater?

    $thing = new whatever ();

    $thing->doStuff ();
    $thing->anotherThing ();
    $thing->doThis ();
    $thing->doThat ();
    $thing->doThis ();
    $thing->doThat ();
    $thing->anotherThing ();
    $thing->doThis ();
    // etc. etc.

Some languages have the construct "with", so you can so something like this:

    $thing = new whatever ();

    with ( $thing ) {

    	doStuff ();
    	anotherThing ();
    	doThis ();
    	doThat ();
    	doThis ();
    	doThat ();
    	anotherThing ();
    	doThis ();
        // etc. etc.
    }

which is much neater. Is there anyway to do this type of thing with PHP?
