RE: [PHP] accessing localtime array directly

php doesn't support automatic dereferencing of arrays, so you can't just throw the index on the back, but you could do this: $julianday = array_slice(localtime(),7,1); but then $julianday's an array...so you could wrap an array_pop around that......although it gets you your val in one line, i think it many cases, it's easier/better/more efficient to just grab the array in one line, then access and copy the val in the second line, as you did... jack -----Original Message----- From: John A.
