I think that not will do incompatible nothing because is a new method. $test = "Hello"; echo $test[0]; // Exists: H echo $test[0, 1; // New: H (too) echo $test[-1]; // New: o echo $test[-3]; // New: llo $test = array(0, 1, 2); echo $test[0]; // 0 echo $test[0, 2]; // array(0, 1, 2) In python is [x:y], but in PHP I thinkg think that is better ',' to don't complicate. Bye. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52129&edit=1
