Hello,
I want to return an array from function and reference an index all in
one line. Is this possible?
In the code below I want I want $yo to be the array(5,6).
Here is what I've tried,
function returnarray() {
return array('lose' => array(5,6), 'win' => array(9,8));
}
$yo = returnarray()['lose'];
var_dump($yo);
This yields a parse error.
function returnarray() {
return array('lose' => array(5,6), 'win' => array(9,8));
}
$yo = {returnarray()}['lose'];
var_dump($yo);
This yields a parse error.
function returnarray() {
return array('lose' => array(5,6), 'win' => array(9,8));
}
$yo = ${returnarray()}['lose'];
var_dump($yo);
This gives notices as the result of returnarray() is being converted
to a string. $yo === NULL...not what i want.
function returnarray() {
return array('lose' => array(5,6), 'win' => array(9,8));
}
$yo = returnarray()->['lose'];
var_dump($yo);
This yields a parse error.
function returnarray() {
return array('lose' => array(5,6), 'win' => array(9,8));
}
$yo = ${returnarray()}->['lose'];
var_dump($yo);
This yields a parse error.
Thanks for your help in advance.

This is not possible in PHP, though you can have a Array wrapper class
function returnarray() {
return new ArrayObject( array('lose' => array(5,6), 'win' =>
array(9,8)) );
}
var_dump (returnarray()->offsetGet('lose'));
or even better make you own wrapper class with __set() and __get()
methods so you can have
var_dump (returnarray()->lose);
of course only in PHP5
Well, not quite so fast saying this is only possible in PHP5
You could do something like this.
<?php
function returnHash() {
return (object) array('lose' => array(5,6), 'win' => array(9,8));
}
print_r(returnHash()->lose);
?>
Basically, this converts your newly built array into an object, using
the stdClass object.
Then reference the index via an object variable name instead of an array
style access method.
