This is seriously one enhancement that I haven’t seen before. If a function like this makes it into PHP, we can speak of one very unique enhanement here. I like the example of a later email, as in $_POST::get(…) Extending the capabilities of arrays and giving them something like above, would be nice. But I can see where the syntax would clash: $_POST would be expected to be an object with a __toString() method, :: refferences to a static method… But maybe, some smart head can figure something out. It would, at least, be an interesting functionality. By the way, I would suggest swapping the path and array argument. As in, „Get from $array the path ‚…‘“. Just a suggestion.
