note 27823 added to language.operators.array

Just like Perl, the arrow operator => quotes the left hand side, so instead of creating a hash like so: $hash = ( 'key' => 'value', 'foo' => 'bar' ); you can save some keystrokes: (also note the 'extra' comma is valid syntax) $hash = ( key => 'value', foo => 'bar', ); Just beware of reserved tokens like 'class' and 'array' that must be quoted. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.array.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27823 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27823 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27823
