When could we realize this in php? create_function('$v', <<<'fun_code' echo $v; fun_code ')('hello'); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-09 03:13:11] Anatorian at gmail dot com I think this feature is very important. It can make me happier in php developing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-29 01:32:26] jim at akubo dot net i wish you could use the * operator (like in c++) to derference references, is there a way todo this in php? instead of writing a new function like array_val ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-25 04:27:37] showmethemoney at google dot com Guys, we really need this feature to make our code beautiful. Now: function get2nd(){ $tempArray = explode(',', array('a','b','c')); return $tempArray[1]; } Better: return explode(',', array('a','b','c'))[1]; or: return array_get(explode(',', array('a','b','c')), '1'); Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-11-25 03:28:59] kexianbin at diyism dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
