It appears that sscanf() MUST be used in conjunction with list(), at least under 4.01. If I don't use list(), sscanf() will not properly assign a value. The following code from the usage example $serial = sscanf("SN/2350001","SN/%d"); echo $serial; result in the output "Array" instead of the desired result. But when I add in the list() function, list($serial) = sscanf("SN/2350001","SN/%d"); echo $serial; the output is correct. http://www.php.net/manual/function.sscanf.php
