UserGuide notation - twpmarketing - 08-28-2016
Reading this page in the UG:
https://bcit-ci.github.io/CodeIgniter4/general/views.html
I note that there is a code segment which shows something I am NOT familiar with; a variable ($data) is assigned using notation which might be an array, but I've never seen this notation:
Code:
class Page extends \CodeIgniter\Controller
{
public function index()
{
$data = [
'page_title' => 'Your title'
];
echo view('header');
echo view('menu');
echo view('content', $data);
echo view('footer');
}
}Should this actually read:
Code:
...
$data = array('page_title' => 'Your title');
...Or is this using a "shorthand" php array declaration?
Yes, I have looked at the PHP 7 documentation, but do not find this type of assignment for an array.

Since PHP 5.4 ... shorthand array notation

This and alot of new notation in PHP 7 that looks alien to PHP < 5.4!
