[Basic PHP] Treat function or method call as an array?

You can use array_* functions on the result, which may not be much help if you're looking for a specific index, bout you could do something like

Code:

$value = array_pop($CI->config->item('returns_indexed_array'));

Or any (I haven't tested them all, but I'm thinking any of them should work) of the array functions... Depending on your specific needs you may be able to work something out that way.
