Function-return-array idea

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello

I've an idea for PHP6. Let's kickoff with an example.

<?php
$info = getUserInformation($id); //return an array with all the information
of an user.
echo $info['naam'];
?>

This is nice, but when I want one element of the returned array, I have to
store the returned array into a variable and then call the variable.
The next code example is my idea.

<?php
echo getUserInformation($id)['naam'];
?>

Let's look further then this small example.

<?php
echo $object->fetchObjects()[0]->method();
?>

This example is more realistic when you use OO. This code style is faster
for developing applications. This code style is available in Java,
Javascript, C, C++, Perl, Python, ... So why not in PHP(6)? You can read
more on my blog.

I hope for good response and also response from php-dev team.
