Subject: Direct Access to an Array Item?
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 22:34:55 -0400 (EDT)
I want to access a variable within a function-returned array without
setting the array to a variable first. Example -- test for equal to string
'foo' on the 4th element of a returned fetch row:
if (($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))[3] == 'foo') {
$user = $row;
}
or
$bar = explode('#', $str)[2];
I know I can do this in perl, but can it be done in PHP? Obviously this is
pseudo code, it doesn't actually work, but I wonder if there is a way that
escapes me currently?
I know I can assign the result to a variable and then test the element; I
am addicted to trying to cut down the amount and complexity of code. Even
if you disagree with my goal as good computing practices, I simply want to
know if what I ask is possible, and if so, how. :-)
