ID: 10203 Updated by: yohgaki Reported By: jack@mobil.cz Old Status: Open Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: It's in TODO already :) Someone might implement it, but I guess it's not anytime soon. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-29 03:34:06] jack@mobil.cz you haven't read the previous posts, have you? I think it's a general problem with list() construct, that you cannot use it everywhere you can use an L-value (or however you guys call it in PHP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-28 20:45:41] yohgaki@php.net foreach ($arr as $key => $val) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-11 11:17:31] jack@mobil.cz sure, I know I could use this way but I don't find it nice at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-06 14:42:55] torben@php.net It's for someone else to decide whether to add this to the language, but until they do you can achieve the same effect with: $arr = array(array(1, 2), array(3, 4)); foreach ($arr as $narr) { list($a, $b) = array_values($narr); echo "$a, $b\n"; } BTW--it would have helped if you had explained what results you were after and not just the syntax you wanted. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-06 07:54:29] jack@mobil.cz no, 'list' should assign an array to a list of variables. $arr = array(array(1, 2), array(3, 4)); foreach ($arr as list($a, $b)) echo "$a $b\n"; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
