PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: [] operator should be first class
Description:
------------
It seems very strange that the [] operator cannot be used on the result of
a function.
Reproduce code:
---------------
function test() {
return array('dog','cat');
}
echo test()[0]; // produces a syntax error.
of course this works fine
class temp{}
function test() {
$o = new $temp;
$temp->foo = 'dog';
}
echo test()->foo; // works
Expected result:
----------------
dog
