PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: New operator feature request
Description:
------------
It's not a bug, it's a new language operator suggestion. When I use other
languages and PHP it's often were a one task - return values from function.
I suggest a new operator and a don't know any analogs in other languages
(may be I now small count of languages).
Reproduce code:
---------------
Task - return values from function with accumulating of results. For
example, when we read strings from file and want return array of this
strings (may be modified) from function we must accumulate/collect all
values in array or in string:
function read_array($in) {
$out = array();
foreach(file($in) as $str) {
$str = trim($str);
//some modifications
$out[] = $str;
//OR $all_str .= $str
}
return $out;
//OR return $all_str
}
It's a very often task. And may be it's will be useful for programers have
two new operators - for strings and for arrays, that accumulate values
within all function body and at the end return ALL strings/elements
automatically.
For example:
function read_array($in) {
foreach(file($in) as $str) {
$str = trim($str);
//some actions
return_array $str;//accumulate $str to internal temporary array,
that will be returned at the end of function
}
}
And "return_string" for strings temporary buffer.
