Syntax not allowed

[Bob Stearns]

The following is not allowed (simplified for this forum): but it seems
reasonable to me. Could some one explain mw lack of insight?

$t = (array(1=>"Sold", 3=>"Transit"))[$location_id];

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[' in
/var/www/html/GEM-is/batchJobs/sales.php on line 183

The parser can't handle such syntax, that's all.

Greetings,

This is the standard syntax to build a PHP array:

$myArray = array('index1' => 'val1', 'index2' => 'val2', 'index3' =>
'val3');

To create a multidimensional array you could use something like this:

$myArray = array("A" => array("a", "b", "c" => array("x")), "B" =>
"y");

Not sure if this is close to what you are looking for

Not at all. He was trying to create a temporary array and reference an
element of it without saving to a variable. I, also, am surprised this
doesn't work.
