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);

The PHP parser does not support this, but you may see it in a
future version - it's a commonly requested feature.
There are various ways to code around this limitation as other
posters have stated but to me they all add far too much processing
to make it worth saving a line of code and a temporary variable.

Thanks Stut. By chance do you know of any proposed syntax for this
feature? Or, what syntax would seem logical to you?
I'm sure I've seen it discussed on the internals list but I don't know
if anything has been agreed. Your best bet is to search the archives
for the internals list.
