Re: list() limitations

Hashes don't have any notion of order so I don't quite understand what you'd expect to see in $a and what in $b. Well actually I know what you expect but it doesn't fit in with hashes. It's not a bug but just the way list() works. Andi At 06:29 06/04/2002 +0000, Philip Olson wrote:

Hello, the following behavior seems odd: $foo = array('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana'); // Notice - Undefined offset: 1 // Notice - Undefined offset: 0 list($a,$b) = $foo; // This of course works as expected while(list(,$ab) = each($foo)) {

      print $ab;

} I recently documented this numerical requirement (starting at 0) as a <note> but find it odd. This is mentioned as a bug in a few places but I can't find any closed reports. It's a pretty good feature request, right? Regards, Philip -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
