Re: Referencing returned array elements...

Probably hvaing a major brain-cramp, but here's my problem.

Have a method to a 'word' object, parent() that returns an array of 'wrod' objects that are parents of the current object. i.e.

$word->parent()

returns

array(
[0]=>word Object([word]=>test [syllables]=>1)
[1]=>word Object([word]=>testing [syllables]=>2)
)

Anyways, trying to reference the array elements when calling the function directly, but not sure it's possible.

Here's how I can get it to work:

$temp_var = $word->parent();

then I can reference $temp_var[0] to get that specific object.

I WOULD like to 'chain' the statement a little more though, ala jquery, so I can do more in less space, i.e.

$word->parent()[0]

So I can then do perform other actions on the selected item in the same line, i.e.

$word->parent()[0]->siblings()

etc.

$word->parent()[0] is causing an error of course, just wondering if there is another way to refernce the elements directly after the function call.

Thanks!


A quick follow-up...

$temp_var = $word->parent(); then.

$temp_var[0]->word produces the desired result in that the first word is output, but I am getting the following error with E_STRICT:

PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object

So obvioulsy I am not even doing the current referencing properly... help!
