Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23022&edit=1 ID: 23022 Updated by: felipe@php.net Reported by: mfischer@php.net Summary: Supported dereferencing array indeces on arbitrary expressions Status: Closed Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5CVS-2003-04-02 (dev) Assigned To: cataphract Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Such feature will be added in the next PHP (> 5.4) version. (i.e. currently it's implemented in the master branch) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-10-06 12:44:31] hovik dot melikyan at gmail dot com Can we please reopen this? This hasn't been implemented in full, as array()[] and [][] still don't work. It just boggles my mind why on Earth array dereferencing shouldn't be symmetric and applicable to arbitrary subexpressions, like in (virtually) any other programming language. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-27 17:14:16] cataphract@php.net It appears marking as closed assigned it to me; this was actually implemented by Felipe Pena, see http://markmail.org/message/unplu5x3gjjjydwz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-27 17:11:55] cataphract@php.net Marking as closed, as this has been implemented in trunk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-13 12:43:48] aharvey@php.net Closing, since for better or worse, this has since gone through the RFC process and been declined. Cite: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/functionarraydereferencing ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-12 21:37:28] zeb at zebhodge dot com I'm baffled that this doesn't work in PHP like it does in so many other languages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
