note 66103 added to function.list

There is an annoying bug I think in that this will not give the desired results: say you have this format: 00:01:02:03:04:05 linux daevid.com <?php preg_match("/(..:..:..:..:..:..)\s(\w+)\s+(.*)/", $map[$i], $matches); unset($matches[0]); //var_dump($matches); list($mac, $image, $name) = $matches; ?> notice how even though I unset the [0] element, and the array appears properly, it seems that the list() starts from 0 even if one doesn't exist or something... Anyways, your variables will NOT have the right things in them, they'll be shifted. $mac will be empty, $image will have the mac, etc. you have to do this (and basically have a throw away place holder): <?php preg_match("/(..:..:..:..:..:..)\s(\w+)\s+(.*)/", $map[$i], $matches); //var_dump($matches); list($junk, $mac, $image, $name) = $matches; //or you could do this too (note the empty , slot): list(, $mac, $image, $name) = $matches; ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 24.16.16.159 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.list.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/66103 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66103/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66103/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66103/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66103/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66103/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66103/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66103 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66103 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
