I want my function to return an array

[Anon]

I want my function to return an associative array, but I don't want to have to use list() when calling upon it. I want this to work:

function getMyArray(){
return array("fruit" => "apple", "vegetable" => "carrot", "berry" => "raspberry");
}

$myArray = getMyArray();

// I want this to output "apple", "carrot" and "raspberry".
echo $myArray['fruit'], $myArray['vegetable'], $myArray['berry'];

You see, I want to be able to add new elements to the return statement, without having to edit every place where I call upon the function. That's why I think it would be impractical to use list() - I don't always know which elements I will be getting.

function getMyArray(){
$myarray = array("fruit" => "apple", "vegetable" => "carrot", "berry" => "raspberry");
return $myarray;
}

$myarray = getMyArray();

// I want this to output "apple", "carrot" and "raspberry".
echo $myarray['fruit'];
echo $myarray['vegetable'];
echo $myarray['berry'];

try that, not sure the function likes return array("...") try just returning the variable... -g

It worked, thank you!
