#34002 [NEW]: Additional array creation construct

From: syncops at hotmail dot com Operating system: All PHP version: 5CVS-2005-08-05 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Additional array creation construct Description: ------------ I use associative arrays for so many things like function/method parameters, database records, creating URL's and HTML tags. I'm looking at tons of array creation code in my application because the only way to create an array is by using the array("key1"=>"value1", "key2"=>"value2") construct. The following construct would be a very good addition and is also used in other (script)languages: {"key1"=>"value1", "key2"=>"value2"}. I sincerely hope there is some way to implemented this new construct. Thanks for reading this. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34002&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34002&r=mysqlcfg
