Hello all,
The array() syntax to me screams function call, something that, in my
mind, did not intuitively mean assign an array to a plain ole
variable.
If I can:
$var1 = 5;
why would I need a special function call "array()" to create and
assign an array?
An array is just like any other variable right?
// Seems more natural to me.
$array1 = ['a' => 1, 'b' => 2];
// than a function call...
$array2 = array("a" => 1, "b" => 2);
That was one of the little things that I remember being wierd about
PHP when I first started coding in it.
Cheers,
Antonio
