Question. Can I modify the above so I instantiate a new object within an if
statement and apply a method all on one line?

Not if you want to use the *new* statement.
But you can add a static method to the class returning the object, so
you can use following code:
<code>
if (User::instance()->saveNewUser())
{
echo "success";
}
else
{
echo "failed";
}
</code>
the static method may look like this:
<code>
public static function &instance()
{
static $instance = null;
if (is_null($instance))
{
$instance = new User();
//some more code to create the object
}
return $instance;
}
</code>
