Class_view.php contains the class definition as an associative array: class View { private $viewArray

Class_view.php contains the class definition as an associative array:

class View
{
    private $viewArray = array();   

    function getViewArray() {
        return $this->viewArray;
    }

    function addToViewArray($key, $value) {
        $this->view[$key] = $value;
    }
}

In Index.php I have:

$view = new View();
$view->addToViewArray("title", "Projet JDelage");
// Much more code
include ("UI_Header.php");

And the code that causes the error is in UI_Header.php, around the “title” HTML tag:

<?php
    echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fr" lang="fr">
    <head>
        <title><?php echo htmlspecialchars($view->getViewArray()['title']);?>
        </title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css"     title="StyleSheetProjet" href="StyleSheetProjet.css" />
    </head>

I’m trying to get the value associated with the key 'title' to show here.

The error I get is:

Parse error: parse error in Header.php on line 7

    The problem is $view->getViewArray()['title']. PHP doesn’t support this yet (it will be included in the next PHP version.) For now you need to create a temporary variable:

    <?php $data = $view->getViewArray(); echo htmlspecialchars($data['title']); ?>

    (But maybe you shouldn’t put that in one line, it’s hard to read. Maybe put a $viewData = $view->getViewArray() at the top of that script 😉

    Another way (which is way more elegant) is to implement the ArrayAccess interface in the class, so you could directly use $view['title']. Or, alternatively, if you prefer using object access over array access you could implement the magic __get method (and __set, __unset and __isset methods, if you need them.)
