alternative array syntax

[Goat]

This isn't life or death question, but I was wondering if there is quicker way to make arrays than standard:

 

$myArray = array('one'=>1, 'two'=>2);

 

this might not seem like a lot of code but I tend to use arrays a lot (and arrays within arrays). So is there perhaps something shorter? Like in python:

 

// not an actual php code
$myArray = ['one'=>1, 'two'=>2];

 

I know php has an alternate syntax for some things, so maybe there is something for this.

you can do like this

$array['one'] = 'one';
$array['two'] = 'two';
$array['three'] = 'three';

Thanks, but I already know that  . That's even longer and it kind of defeats the purpose.

I know the kind of shortcut your talking about and no, it doesn't exist.

 

I know there was talk of this but I'm not sure it will ever go ahead.
