[PHP-DEV] Feature Request: array declaration

2003-07-25 Thread walt boring
Howdy, I hope this isn't too late in the game for PHP5, but I thought I'd throw out a request for a feature for array() declaration. I'd like to be able to be lazy and declare something like $foo = array('A' = 'Admin', 'C' = 'Customer'); which is really just a shortcut way to declare $foo
