#50712 [NEW]: The list function manual page does not describe what function actually does
From: alex dot henriet at gmail dot com
Operating system: Irrelevant
PHP version: Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: The list function manual page does not describe what function actually does
Description:
------------
On page http://be2.php.net/manual/fr/function.list.php,
the french description for function "list" is :
"list Transforme une liste de variables en tableau"
meaning : list transforms a list of variables into an array.
Actually, what does that function is just the opposite ..
It assigns values coming from an array to variables that you pass as
parameters ..
Maybe it is not only a translation problem, the return value seems strange
too .. I don't think list() is supposed to return an array.
So maybe the english page and probably others should also be fixed?
Reproduce code:
---------------
list
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
list Transforme une liste de variables en tableau
array list ( mixed $varname [, mixed $... ] )
Valeurs de retour
Retourne le tableau assigné.
Expected result:
----------------
Irrelevant
Actual result:
--------------
Irrelevant
