Access array from method return

[paradigmapc]

Does anyone know if or how it would be possible access a methods returned array such as:

 

function getFields() {
    return array("zero","One","Two","Three");
}

print getFields()[1];

 

I understand the example above is pointless. I would be using this to access object members that returned an array of objects such as:

 

$object->getFieldsByType("TypeToFind")["ArrayKey"]->value;

 

Thank you,

If you store the function's result to a variable first, you can do it:

 

function getFields() {
    return array("zero","One","Two","Three");
}
$array = getFields();
echo $array[1];

Thanks for the reply

 

I was just trying to figure out a way to accomplish the task in one line like other languages

If the method returns an object I can access the members of the object like so:

 

$object->getByName("NameToFind")->value;

 

but not if it returns an array objects

 

Thanks,
