ID: 40590 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: black at scene-si dot org -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.2.1 New Comment:
This is already documented in function.list: "list() assigns the values starting with the right-most parameter. If you are using plain variables, you don't have to worry about this. But if you are using arrays with indices you usually expect the order of the indices in the array the same you wrote in the list() from left to right; which it isn't. It's assigned in the reverse order." $v is being assigned in the first assignment of the list(). When that new $v is used to calculate $k, you're getting the string.

I changed the category to documentation problem and status back to open.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php In PHP 5 this is the expected behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-22 13:26:58] black at scene-si dot org Description: ------------ list() overwriting variable, unexpected result (different from php4). Reproduce code: --------------- $v = array("00","-- Day --"); list($k,$v) = $v; var_dump(array($k,$v)); Expected result: ---------------- Var dump should return: array(2) { [0]=> string(2) "00" [1]=> string(11) "-- Day -- " } Actual result: -------------- Var dump returns: array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "-" [1]=> string(11) "-- Day -- " } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40590&edit=1
