<?php
list($bobdole) = 'Bob Dole Smells Like Old Socks!';
echo($bobdole);
?>
atal error: Invalid opcode 98/1/1.was a bug already fixed in CVS.
however there $bobdole should be set to NULL and not to "B" as you
expect ( or at least that is the bahviuor it has in CVS)
IMHO it should trow a fatal error: "cannot use string as an array"

Description:
------------
clarification is needed in the documentation in the case of a
one-to-one assignment using list() and a string. see reproduction code
example 1. i understand that in this case, the string is being treated
as an array of characters. But this was not as expected initially.
Plus, a fatal error is generated if the string is directly provided
instead of returning from a function. Inconsistent and confusing.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Example 1:
<?php
function bob_dole_is_a_dork() {
return 'Bob Dole Smells Like Old Socks!';
}
list($bobdole) = bob_dole_is_a_dork();
echo($bobdole);
?>
Example 2:
<?php
list($bobdole) = 'Bob Dole Smells Like Old Socks!';
echo($bobdole);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Example 1:
Bob Dole Smells Like Old Socks!
Example 2:
Bob Dole Smells Like Old Socks!
Actual result:
--------------
Example 1 gives:
B
Example 2 gives:
Fatal error: Invalid opcode 98/1/1. in /the/path/doesnt/matter/pp.php
on line 2
