I have done some research but have not found something that fits my scenario exactly. I am using Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP files and Dreamweaver alerts me that there is an error in my code with this line:
if(explode("_","some_variable")[0]=="some"){
If I remove the brackets [ ] then the error message goes away making the line be
if(explode("_","some_variable")=="some"){ //never true obviously
I know that I could assign the exploded array to a variable and then call the first value of that variable to remove this code but I was trying to find a solution to be able to write a little more shorthand code.
I found that this method of calling an index is supported from PHP version 5.4 from the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19408331/1707323 but Dreamweaver still throws error alert. I was able to find out that Dreamweaver CS5 supports code hinting and syntax for PHP version 5.2.
So the main question is: How can I add more support to Dreamweaver CS5 code hinting and syntax checker OR is there a way to ignore certain syntax errors while preserving the rest of the syntax checker?
I know that I could change the line to
if($string = explode("_",$key) && $string[0]=="understand"){
Or I could write a custom function such as the referred answer above suggests, but why write extra code just to satisfy an outdated syntax checker when there might be a way to update the syntax checker.
Note: I am not looking for any answers that involves updating to a newer version of Dreamweaver such as CS5.5 or CS6 as I already have CS5 and do not want to dish out money just for this reason.
