Hello, lists, I'm tired to type "array()" many times. And I want to declare arrays more easily. So I wrote the patch for zend_language_parser.y which enables to declare arrays with square brackets like some other languages.
Stanislav, Sorry, I'm new in this list and I didn't know about past discussion. As Marcus says, I'd like to ask around again. There are three options: a) Commit square bracket array shortcut patch keys and values are separated by colons. ( http://www.opendogs.org/pub/php-5.3dev-080109-sbar.patch ) e.g. $a = [1, 2, 3]; $b = ['foo': 'orange', 'bar': 'apple', 'baz': 'lemon']; b) Commit square bracket array shortcut patch keys and values are separated by double arrows. ( http://www.opendogs.org/pub/php-5.3dev-080109-sbar2.patch ) e.g. $a = [1, 2, 3]; $b = ['foo' => 'orange', 'bar' => 'apple', 'baz' => 'lemon']; c) Reject and keep using `array()'. e.g. $a = array(1, 2, 3); $b = array('foo' => 'orange', 'bar' => 'apple', 'baz' => 'lemon'); These patches include the tests. Which do you like? I like (a) the best.
