Doc #68993 [NEW]: Inconsistency in documentations of list-intrinsic.
From: minecraftshamrock at gmail dot com
Operating system:
PHP version: master-Git-2015-02-05 (Git)
Package: PHP Language Specification
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:Inconsistency in documentations of list-intrinsic.
Description:
------------
Original question on StackOverflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/q/28343884/2324078
I saw the list-intrinsic specification
(https://github.com/php/php-langspec/blob/master/spec/10-expressions.md#list),
which states that for a list-intrinsic construct, the right-hand side of
the simple-assignment-expression must be an expression that designates
an array.
But the documentation of list from php.net
(http://php.net/manual/en/function.list.php), gives an example like the
one in the attached test script of this ticket.
The thing is that PDOStatement::fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM) returns FALSE if
there is no further row. But the right-hand side of the
assignment-expression must be an array - and FALSE is not an array. So
this would result in a fatal-error, right?
Have I missed something, or is this really an inconsistency?
Test script:
---------------
$result = $pdo->query("SELECT id, name, salary FROM employees");
while (list($id, $name, $salary) = $result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM)) {
//output $id, $name and $salary
}
