unexpected "unexpected [" error

[libcha]

Hi,

i wrote this piece of code:

if (mysql_num_rows($res) != 1 || mysql_fetch_assoc($res)["id"] != $correct_id) do_something();

but it doesn't digest the usage of [] operator just after () operator...

(i don't know wheather it's a bug or php is just stupid...)

the only working solution is:

if (mysql_num_rows($res) != 1) do_something();
else {
  $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
  if ($row["id"] != $correct_id) do_something();
}

but i don't want this, because there is the clause do_something() twice...

any better solutions ?

thanks much

I guess you can say PHP is just stupid (in this case). It does not support syntax like this.
