Showing array values from php function

Question

My function getStockStatus($stock_Id) returns

array(3) { ["pqty"]=> string(2) "10" ["sqty"]=> int(20) ["cqty"]=> int(-10) }

(as var_dump).

If I use getStockStatus(12)['pqty'] I get an error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';' in D:\xampp\htdocs\acs\ac_stockstatus.php on line 50.

How to use this function?

firstly run this code getStockStatus($stock_Id) then you can get pqty — Santosh Patel, Jan 13 '16 at 09:56

That kind of syntax was introduced in PHP 5.4. If you're using 5.3 or below, you need 2 steps:

$stockStatus = getStockStatus(12);
$pqty = $stockStatus['pqty'];

Seems you are running on older version of PHP 5.3, this thing is handled PHP 5.4 or newer, see Mannual

You need to store this in a variable to access.

$returnVal = getStockStatus(12);
echo $returnVal['pqty'];
