Re: simpler syntax for arrays

All parameters in a row with => will be merged to one array. You could call myfunc($a, $b, 'foo' => "bar", 'qux' => "quux"); with our patch You can free mix arrays and scalar values like myfunc($a, 'b' => "foo", $c, 'd' => "bar", ...); which is the same as myfunc($a, array('b' => "foo"), $c, array('d' => "foo"), ...); And if you need two separate arrays in a row you can still go back to having array() for the second one (but we avoid parameter lists like that). Ok, enough plugging of that syntax on the list, further replies will be off-list ;-) - Chris
