Fast access by index to array-return value

Question

Suppose i have function

array get_array($argument)

I want access to single element of this array in, so, python style like this:

$vector = get_array($argument)[2];

There is an elegant way to do this without new variables, rewriting function and so on?

Can you explain with example what you are trying to achieve? To get array inner element, you can use $myArray[$argument][2] — Justinas

Sure, use PHP 5.4, which supports function array dereferencing

Function array dereferencing has been added, e.g. foo()[0].
