Array Fundamentals in PHP

[matthewbauer]

I am use to other languages like Python and C and one part of PHP I don't understand is arrays.

 

When I have a script that does something like this:

$names = Array("Me", "Myself", "I");
echo $names[0];

I get an error along the lines of: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';'. So are there any alternatives to the sample script I have above?

array, lowercased.

array, lowercased.

 

Ok, sorry what I really meant is when returning from a function like this:

function ReturnNames(){
return array("Me", "Myself", "I");
}
echo ReturnNames()[0];

[The Little Guy]

function ReturnNames(){
   $names = array("Me", "Myself", "I");
   return $names;
}
$rname = ReturnNames();

echo $rname[0];

Since when?
