 As an aside, there are two (2) good reasons to create a variable even if
 you only use it once:

 1. It is impossible to single-step through chained methods when using a
 PHP debugger like PhpStorm, NetBeans, Zend Studio, etc.

 2. Using well-named variables documents complex code and is a practice
 advocated by Steve McConnell, author of ''"The single most influential
 book every programmer should read":''

 FWIW.
