Bug description:function returning array and directly calling array element
parse error
Description:
------------
When calling function which returns array and try to get element of the
returned array directly, without copying the result into variable like
"foo()[x]" where x is integer, it returns parse syntax error.
However this is working in 5.4.* versions.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
function returnArray()
{
$arr = array("first", "second", "third");
return $arr;
}
echo returnArray()[1];
?>
Expected result:
----------------
second
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';'
