Bug description: PHP should have Perl style obtaining of values from arrays
returned from functi
Description:
------------
In Perl, I am able to do something like:
print (explode(",", $myString))[1];
which would print the second result of explode (which returns an
array). Sadly, this feature is lacking in PHP. I'd really like to see
this in PHP, because it adds so much convenience to coding, and
shortens it, rather than having to assign to a variable, then obtaining
the value from the variable.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$myString = "The,quick,brown,fox";
$secondpart = (explode(",", $myString))[1];
echo $secondpart;
?>
Expected result:
----------------
quick
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in
