Bug description:  A suggestion about arrays

Description:
------------
Hey,

I have a feature suggestion that would be used with array.
You'd simply set your array variable, use a new function (called, say,
arygrb, for arraygrab?) and it would echo a part of the array, where you
tell it to start and end, that can go across the commas and such.
Something like:
<?php
$array = array("first,"second","third","fourth","fifth");
echo arygrb($array("first","third")<br />);
?>
Which would echo:
first<br />second<br />third
everything up from 'first' to 'third', replacing the "," with <br />

Of course, you could just echo "$array[0] $array[1] $array[2]" but what if
it's user input that's in the array?  What if you don't know what is in the
array, and you're searching it?

I think this would be handy.  Hope you think so too :)

-PG

Reproduce code:

<?php
$array = array("first,"second","third","fourth","fifth");
echo $array;  //Would echo "Array", not good, unless you put $array[1]...
echo arygrb($array("first","third")<br />); //Would echo 'first<br
/>second<br />third, the <br />s actually being line breaks
?>
