Accessing an OO array element

[pagewrite]

Hi all,

I'm very new to the concept of classes and OO, but I thought I'd try my hand at writing a class and I have a question.

I'm trying to access an array which a function within a class returns, but I can't seem to do it in one line of code; instead I have to write two.

For example,

$myplayer = new slimp3();
$temp = $myplayer->nowplaing();
echo "Current track being played: " . $temp['title'];

I'd like to combine the last two lines into one.... is this possible? I've tried stupid things such as:

$myplayer->nowplaying()['title']

but without joy (not surprisingly).

Any help much appreciated!

Ian

No, the other way you could do it is set the result of nowplaying() to a class variable and then access it through the object but this is not good practice.

Try
echo {$myplayer->nowplaying()}['title'] ;

Not positive if it will work and I don't have php handy. Probably better to use a temp variable anyways as the code will be clearer.

Nice idea, but unfortunately, no, it doesn't work. The classic:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in \html\test.php on line 14

Thanks bubblenet - kind of what I thought, but useful to have confirmation. Didn't want to pick up bad habbits as I'm just starting out with OOP!
