I've never seen a language where you couldn't do things like "echo foo() ;"
and I've seen a good many languages. It's so universal, I don't know that
it has a name, other than "expression evaluation". Language processors
typically evaluate inner subexpressions first, then use the value in
evaluating the containing expression.
That said, I'm still pretty new to PHP, so as far as I know PHP may be
deficient in that capability.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] using result of function in same line
ok here's the problem - in some languages (like javascript or c# for
instance) you could use the results of a function in same line as your call.
say you have a function foo that returns an array, you can do something like
print foo()[4];
this will print the 5th element of whatever array foo returned. but in php,
it seems like you have to break it up into 2 calls like this:
$x = foo();
echo $x[4];
i find it hard to believe that you can't do
echo foo()[4];
so... how can u go about this?
thanks,
igor
and also, what is that called when you can do it in same line?

I have an instance where I am trying to remove a couple different string
scenerios from a variable. I have spent some time with regEx but I'm not
getting anywhere. I'm hoping someone could help me out here.
Basically I have names that MAY contain middle initials which I need to
remove:
John D. Smith
I need to strip the "D." so that I have only John Smith
In addition I have a few instances where the name contains a secondary
last name in parentheses that I need to remove:
Joanne (Taylor) Smith
I need to strip the Taylor so that I am left with Joanne Smith.
If anybody could help me with this I would be very appreciative.

This seems to work:
$pattern = "/(\w+) (?:(?:\w\.|\(\w+\))) (\w+)/" ;
$replacement = "\$1 \$2" ;
//$string = "John D. Smith" ;
$string = "Joanne (Taylor) Smith" ;
echo preg_replace( $pattern, $replacement, $string ) ;

Do you have control on the input data? E.g. are or are not
the input originated from the entropy source known as end
users?

Hi!
How do I set up a php-script so that it can communicate with Flash MX?
I send a querystring to the php-script - but I don't know how to return
anything from that function or how to check if it works...
Anyone? I guess it would be the same principles as to communicate with some
other program, so if you know how to communicate with something other then
Flash that would be great too...
thanks!

Well, not really...
The best bet would be to investigate the flash activescript
capabilities... there are examples of it interacting with php all over
the web... (i would use some sort of xml to do it, due to its
flexibility in both flash and php)...
Cheers,
Luis Ferro

Ming has the capability of producing flash movie files on the fly from php,
in much the same fashion as GD produces images on the fly. Here are a
couple of sources of information;
