#23117 [NEW]: Python-style array subsets

From: eblount at implode dot com Operating system: All PHP version: 5CVS-2003-04-08 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Python-style array subsets Hi, I would like to request Python-style array subsets, where the code would resemble the following: $subArray = $bigArray[10:20]; // $subArray contains elements 10 through 20 of $bigArray It could also be useful in strings: $myString = "Hello World"; $subString = $myString[3:8]; // $subString equals "lo Wor" I think this could be done without breaking backwards compatability, and I think it would increase productivity.
