Question

PHP:

I have made up a function that returns an array. I would like to be able to echo only one part of this array without having to make a variable like this:

$var = meth_0('getPlayerLimit');
echo $var['success'];

Is this possible? I´ve already tested doing what’s bellow and it didn´t work.

echo meth_0('getPlayerLimit')['success'];

Thanks for your time 🙂

You can do it with PHP 5.4, it is called array dereferencing:

  function get_cars()
  {
    return ["ferrari","lamborghini","maserati","bugatti"];
  }
  echo get_cars()[3];  //bugatti
