I notice it still isn't possible to directly return an array from a function; I find this rather annoying, as it makes heavy programming unwieldy at times. I'm wondering if this is a 'bug' or a 'feature' (is it because nobody has fixed function returns to allow arrays, or is it done on purpose?).
Returning an array from a function works quite well. Please elaborate on your problem... perhaps I am misunderstanding what issue you are talking about. The following calls work function foo () {
        return array ('bar', 'boo', 'baz');
} $array = foo (); list ($uno, $dos, $tres) = foo (); --zak
