Well, ok .. forget the last part, it effectively returns an array when
the variable have been assigned with the array values, but still, I
think the description in French does not describe correctly the purpose
of that language construct.

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
