note 113845 added to function.list

The list construct seems to look for a sequential list of indexes rather taking elements in sequence. What that obscure statement means is that if you unset an element, list will not simply jump to the next element and assign that to the variable but will treat the missing element as a null or empty variable: $test = array("a","b","c","d"); unset($test[1]); list($a,$b,$c)=$test; print "\$a='$a' \$b='$b' \$c='$c'<BR>"; results in: $a='a' $b='' $c='c' not: $a='a' $b='c' $c='d' ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 72.52.91.14 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.list.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/113845 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113845/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113845/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113845/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113845/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113845/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113845/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113845 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/113845 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
