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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50712&edit=1
