note 38083 added to function.extract

If you are tired of always writing "EXTR_PREFIX_ALL" (which i believe is the most useful feature of extract) then you can use a function like: function xtract($a,$prefix) { foreach($a as $key=>$val) $GLOBALS["${prefix}_${key}"]=$val; } and then call it like xtract($myarray, "my"); This, however, will NOT work when called inside a function. The reason is the array GLOBALS which we put the extracted variables into. (I couldn't find a way to do the same trick in functions, also I had problems determining if xtract is called from another function or not.) So be sure to always use it outside. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38083 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38083&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38083&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
