note 103266 added to function.list

Keep it simple! For associative arrays, my replacement for list() is this: <?php foreach ($associative_array as $key => $value) { $$key = $value; } ?> Example: <?php $petnames = array(); $petnames['dog'] = 'Paul'; $petnames['cat'] = 'Lili'; foreach ($petnames as $name => $value) { $$name = $value; } echo 'my pets are '.$dog.' and '.$cat; ?> Will give you: my pets are Paul and Lili ---- Server IP: 217.160.235.204 Probable Submitter: 87.123.72.203 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.list.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103266 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103266/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103266/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103266/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103266/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103266/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103266/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103266 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103266 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
