ID: 35560 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: ktk at bigfoot dot com -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: GNU/Linux PHP Version: 5.1.1 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: dmitry New Comment: Dmitry, is there something we can do about it? It definitely looks wrong to me, but somehow it works in 5.0. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-05 21:27:21] ktk at bigfoot dot com Description: ------------ In PHP 5.1 the list() operator fails to correctly assign values to variables that appear left of the variable that is used as the source array, if the source variable is itself listed as one of the variables to be assigned. list($a, $b) = $b; fails to properly assign $a. PHP 5.0 and earlier have no problem with this syntax. Reproduce code: --------------- $c = array("Apple", "Banana", "Pear", "Grape", "Orange"); list($a, $b, $c, $d, $e) = $c; var_dump($a); var_dump($b); var_dump($c); var_dump($d); var_dump($e); Expected result: ---------------- string(5) "Apple" string(6) "Banana" string(4) "Pear" string(5) "Grape" string(6) "Orange" Actual result: -------------- string(1) "P" string(1) "e" string(4) "Pear" string(5) "Grape" string(6) "Orange" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35560&edit=1
