I use (list($key,$line)=each($dbresult)), and that basically means that
you take each line of the array $dbresult( consisting of a key and
data), and assigning it to $key and $line. It is simply a way of assigning
two variables at a time.
From the manual:
list
Like array(), this is not really a function, but a language
construct. list() is used to assign a list of variables in one operation.
