Re: [PHP-DEV] Indexing an array

Hi! For now you can only index an array using a scalar type or a string. Is there some rfc or work going on to enlarge the possibility so that it is possible to have some other object like: I think SplObjectStorage implements most common use-case for such behavior, do you have any other one t

Re: [PHP-DEV] Feature proposal: userland support for name qualification
