If an expression delivers an array, then you should be able to reference an element of that array. The only question is operator precedence and grouping: recommend following the C rules - primary expressions group left to right, parenthesis disambiguate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-26 08:44:45] kexianbin at diyism dot com When could we realize this in php? create_function('$v', <<<'fun_code' echo $v; fun_code )('hello'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-26 08:20:58] kexianbin at diyism dot com When could we realize this in php? create_function('$v', <<<'fun_code' echo $v; fun_code ')('hello'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-09 03:13:11] Anatorian at gmail dot com I think this feature is very important. It can make me happier in php developing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
