Re: Yet another feature request

I see this is the time to do language feature request. So let me add another. I very often use something like: /$a = isset($x['abc']) ? //$x['abc'] : null; /This is to prevent an E_NOTICE from being thrown.

It seems to me like adding a function: mixed array_get(mixed key, array search [, mixed default_value]) The implementation being: // constraint checking here if (array_key_exists($key,$search) return $search[$key]; return $default_value; would be the way to go. A functional way to do array access (I don't see another way to do this, actually), and also allow a default value if the specified key doesn't exit. Very similiar to the getProperty() method in Java's Properties class. -- Patrick_Mueller@us.ibm.com IBM PHP Community Architect, IBM Research Triangle Park
