user functions -> returning arrays?

[Nate]

is it possible to return an array from a user function? example:

something () { 
   $test=array(5,6);
   return $test;
}

something()[0]; //returns 5?
something()[1]; //returns 6?

if not, is there another way i can do it?

thanks!

like this....

function dostuff () {

return array ("abc", "def", "geh");

}


list ($first, $second, $third) = dostuff;

echo $first;
echo $second;
echo $third;

Or you can just do:

something () 
{
 $test=array(5, 6);
 return_$test;
}

$newarray = something();
print $newarray[1];
