Bug #30467 Array expression parsing problem
Submitted: 2004-10-18 03:32 UTC Modified: 2004-10-30 01:05 UTC
From: cpks at btopenworld dot com Assigned:
Status: Not a bug Package: *General Issues
PHP Version: Irrelevant OS: N/A
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
I had been assuming that the expression

$a = functioncall(), $a{operator}

is equivalent to

functioncall(){operator}

but this appears to be the untrue, at least in the case of functions returning array values.

Be kind to me. I'm sure I'm being stupid.

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo getdate()["year"];

Expected result:
----------------
2004

//(or whatever year it is)

Actual result:
--------------
parse error: unexpected "[", expecting "," or ";"

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Nope, this is not supposed to work at all. No bug here.
