Returning an array in a function: php5.4
If you have a function that returns an array you can easily access the element you want on calling the function. Take for example:
function exampleArray () {
return array ( 'title' => 'banana', 'body' => 'skin' );
}If you wanted to just get title from the array within one line you can just do:
$title = exampleArray()['title'];I thought it was pretty cool and easy.

The hack for this in PHP versions before this is available is the following
function exampleArray () {
return array ( 'title' => 'banana', 'body' => 'skin' );
}
list ($title, $body) = array_values(exampleArray());I say hack because it assumes that the order of values returned from the method will never change which is quite dangerous
