Bug description: explode yields an array, but appending a key causes syntax error
Description:
------------
This bug applies at least through 4.3.2. Sorry about version, but I'm
restricted to using rpm's, which means I can never get near the current
version. If this disqualifies me from ever reporting bugs, please advise
and I will stop.
The explode function yields an array result, so you would expect the
following statement to be syntactically correct:
$result=explode($separator,$string)[$key];
However, that syntax yields a "parse error".
The workaround is to assign explode to a variable first:
$array=explode($separator,$string);
$result=$array[$key];
Reproduce code:
---------------
$result=explode(':','a:b:c')[0];
Expected result:
----------------
$result gets 'a'
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: parse error
