Description:
------------
As in Example #8 Array dereferencing (http://docs.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php)
// As of PHP 5.4 it is possible to array dereference the result of a function or method call
directly. Before it was only possible using a temporary variable.
$secondElement = getArray()[1];
I would expect same in Returning References:
class foo {
public $value = 42;
public function &getValue() {
return $this->value;
}
}
&$foo->getValue() = 'new value';
instead of ...
$v = &$foo->getValue();
$v = 'bla';
Or does any syntax to do it directly already exists?
:) Thank You
Test script:

none
