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.
