Description:
------------
There should be a function used to simply return element [n] of an array. This will allow to return the value of an array by simply specifying the key or element to be returned. list() or any other function can do this.

if a such function alredy exist please let me know. I didnt find it.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Sample code of what function should do.

function array_element($array array,$element mixed){
  return $array[$element];
}


here is an example of why that would be useful.

If i dont want to write two lines to get a hostname from a url.

$myhost = array_element(parse_url($someurl),"host");

INSTEAD OF

$host_info = parse_url($someurl);
$myhost = $host_info["host"];

Also.. there are many things that the list() function cannot do ... an array_element() function would be very useful in any situation where the array would be the result of another function ..

There are numerous examples where I would have used that and I am sure that a lot of people would be looking for suck feature.

Same idea for an array_put() function but array_merge() does the same.
