ID: 23022 Comment by: kexianbin at diyism dot com Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5CVS-2003-04-02 (dev) New Comment:
Developer guys, we php programmers indeed need this function to direct access element of the function/method returned array. Sometimes i work around this so: echo ${!${''}=&explode(',','a,b,c')}[1]; maybe it's the shortest hack code to mimic direct access, but it's ugly, we really need to realize it in the php build-in syntax supporting. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-23 22:15:16] m_rayman at bigfoot dot com doesn't fix the bug, but a workaround: function array_val($array, $key) { return $array[$key]; } then you can do things like: var_dump(array_val(array('a', 'b'), 1)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-02 10:30:35] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Supported dereferencing array indeces on arbitrary expressions. Currently you can only dereference array indeces on variables directly: $a = array('a', 'b'); var_dump($a[1]); but this does not work var_dump(array('a', 'b')[1]); neither does this: function returnArray() { return array('a', 'b'); } var_dump(returnArray()[1]); or this: $value = ($ns == 'foo' ? $thisArray : $thatArray)[0]; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23022&edit=1
