PHP 5.4: How do I use shorthand array syntax for multidimensional arrays? [closed]

Question

$ar = [
    array('select' => 'ven_id, ven_name'),
    array('conditions' => array(
        ['col=?', $value],
        ['col=?', $value]
    ))
];

The above code is halfway there! How do i alter this so that the nested arrays also use shorthand?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Replace array() with []:

$ar = [
    ['select' => 'ven_id, ven_name'],
    ['conditions' => [
        ['col=?', $value],
        ['col=?', $value]
    ]]
];

Answer 2

I maybe missing something here but why not using the following code (as you already using []):

<?php

$ar = [
    ['select' => 'ven_id, ven_name'],
    ['conditions' => [
        ['col=?', $value],
        ['col=?', $value]
    ]],
];

var_dump($ar);

Can be tested here
