Re: Syntax ::: does explode('-', $string)[2] ::: have a twin brother?

Hmmmm, have you tried: $to = (explode('-', $string))[2]; I don't know if it would work, but if it's possible, that's the way I'd do it. I doubt it's possible tho, as PHP doesn't have the strongest / most correct parser out there.
