1.2.1102. Short Syntax For Arrays

Arrays written with the new short syntax.

PHP 5.4 introduced the new short syntax, with square brackets. The previous syntax, based on the array() keyword is still available.

<?php

// All PHP versions array
$a = array(1, 2, 3);

// PHP 5.4+ arrays
$a = [1, 2, 3];

?>
