I have numbers representing strings that I would like to convert back into their strings.
Right now I am using:
$sense = array('', 'sight', 'hearing', 'touch', 'smell', 'taste');
echo $sense[$number]; // 3 => touch |
|
I do not use the $sense array anywhere else and I have several one-time use arrays like this.
Is there some super awesome function that I can use to turn this into a one liner to help declutter my code? I do not need to use arrays if there is something more appropriate.

You could write your own I suppose. Pass in the array name and the number and return your value. Something like ...
function getMyString($array, $number)
{
if (isset($GLOBALS[$array][$number])) {
return $GLOBALS[$array][$number];
}
return false; // handle non-existent value
}
