Access array returned by a function in php -

i'm using template engine inserts code in site want it.

i wrote function test quite easy:

myfunction() { return '($this->data["a"]["b"] ? true : false)'; }

the problem is, $this->data private, , can't access everywhere, have use getdata(); causes problem.

$this->getdata()['a']['b']

does not work, , assigning value first doesn't either because used directly in if() block.

any ideas?

since php 5.4 it's possible that:

getsomearray()[2]

on php 5.3 or earlier, you'll need use temporary variable.
