$myArray = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$yourArray = array(1 => “one”, 2 => “two”, “three”);
$herArray = array(1, 2, 3, array(4 => “four”, “five”));

The proposal is to use square brackets ( [ ] ) to define an array. If passed, we would be able rewrite the above examples as:

$myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$yourArray = [1 => "one", 2 => "two", "three");
$herArray = [1, 2, 3, [4 => "four", "five"]];

There’s a good deal of discussion going on in the internal mailing list with almost equal number of people voting “for” and “against” it. Rasmus, isn’t not very supportive, yet has voted for the new proposal.

To be pretty honest, I am still not very sure if it’s going to be worth the trade-offs.
Anyhoo! Let’s wait and watch.
