array(...)[]

Hi, I've just seen that finally it's possible to do "$object->getOtherObject()->doSomething()" with PHP5 which was not possible in PHP4. But I wonder why something like this still does not work: $object->returnArray()[$index] returnArray()[$index] array(1,2,3,4)[$index] It would be really cool if a future version of PHP understands the above syntax because currently it's really annoying to access an array element returned from a method/function because the return value must be stored in a temporary variable before it is possible to access elements from that array. Bye K
