Something I'll usually do is overload the class name with a function:

PHP Code:


			
function Database() {
    return Database::getInstance();
}

This, in combination with usually returning an object simplifies instruction chaining (and, as a result, code readability) greatly.

PHP Code:


			
public function rowCount() {
    return Database()
        ->query('select %s from `%q` LIMIT 1',
            'count(*) as "count"',
            $this->table
        )
        ->fetchObject()
        ->count;
}
