[RESOLVED] My class method returns an array; how do I access the elements (best practices)?

[sois]

Hi,

I have a class method that returns an array of data. However, I don't know how to pull the data from the class when I am working with my instance. For example.

$thing = new Gadget($id);
$thing->GetTeams();  // This method returns an array of teams and the properties of the teams (mascot, home town, coach...etc).

How do I get the, for example, mascot of team X?

echo $thing->GetTeams()[0]['mascot'] doesn't work, but if i print_r, I can see the info is there. How do I get to it without assigning GetTeams() to a temporary variable ($temp[0]['mascot'] works just fine)?

Thanks!

There isn't one (unfortunately).
