Req #64818 [Com]: array_get

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64818&edit=1 ID: 64818 Comment by: mario dot dweller at seznam dot cz Reported by: mario dot dweller at seznam dot cz Summary: array_get Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Arrays related PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: In the case you have those keys in a variable like $keys = ['key1', 'key2'] you can access it only using a loop. That's one of the purpose of the function. BTW what looks better and what is more readable? $a = isset($array['a']) ? $array['a'] : null; $b = array_key_exists('b', $array) ? $array['b'] : 'default'; or $a = array_get($array, 'a'); $b = array_get($array, 'b', 'default'); ? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-12 11:13:28] pajoye@php.net @niki Arg right. But still should not be added, zero value added here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-12 10:56:45] nikic@php.net @Pierre: isset($array['key1']['key2']) ?: NULL is the same as isset($array['key1']['key2']) ? isset($array['key1']['key2']) : NULL is the same as "true" if the key exists, "null" if it doesn't. That's not what this req is about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-12 10:53:39] pajoye@php.net $val = isset($array['key1']['key2']) ?: NULL; We already have an operator for that ($v = (iftrue) ?: defaultvalue). Operators are also much more efficient than a function call. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-12 10:37:02] mario dot dweller at seznam dot cz fl at nyggen dot com: I know this is possible. But i don't like suppressing warning in this situation. And @$array['key1']['key2'] ?: 'Key not found' And the valid value could be false/0/""/"0"/[]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-12 06:41:16] fl at nyggen dot com You could just write: @$array['key1']['key2']; Which will give you the same result. @$array['key1']['key2'] ?: 'Key not found' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
