note 39444 added to language.operators.assignment

If you want to swap values between variables without using an intermediary, try using the list() and array() language constructs. For instance: <? // Initial values. $biggest = 1; $smallest = 10; // Instead of using a temporary variable... $temp = $biggest; $biggest = $smallest; $smallest = $temp; // ...Just swap the values. list($biggest, $smallest) = array($smallest, $biggest); ?> This works with any number of variables; you're not limited to just swapping two.
