Subject:RE: [PHP-DEV] Syntactic improvement to array

I would definitely not advocate to use [] in a type hint. For the same reason
you don't use array() but array :) It'd be: function typeHinted(array $array = []) { ... }

I don't see any issue with that. I'm talking about the construct that allows you
to create an array. Andi

Hi Andi

function typeHinted([] $array = []) { // type hint array, default to empty one if(count($array)) { array_merge($array, ["foo" => []]); // merge $array with array("foo" => array()); return $array; } return []; // empty array }

typeHinted([1 => [1 => []]]); // array(1 => array(1 => array()));

-1 from me

Hi,

I thought I may have brought this up a long time ago but couldn't find anything in the archives. For a long time already I've been thinking about possibly adding a new syntax for array(...) which would be shorter. I'd suggest [...]. While I am usually not in favor of having more than one way to do

things, I think it'd look much more elegant especially (but not only) for nested arrays.

So what I'm thinking of is: array(1, 2, 3) == [1, 2, 3] array(1, 2, array("foo", "bar")) == [1, 2, ["foo", "bar"]] array("key" => 1, "key2" => 2) == ["key" => 1, "key2" => 2]

$arr = [1, 2, 3] vs. $arr = array(1, 2, 3)

Well enough examples given :) I think it's not worth doing unless there's overwhelming support as it's not desperately needed. But I'd be interested to hear

people's thoughts. It seems implementation shouldn't be an issue but I'd have to dive a bit deeper.
