note 43859 added to language.operators.assignment

jeronimo's code works just fine but it DOES create a intermediate variable, i think (am not sure)... the array function returns an array... which remains unnamed, since we didnt store the result of the array function. After the next run of the garbage collector the unnamed array memory is swept. similar to this the temp variable that was created can be unset. :) i hope i am right... since i am new to php and am really not familiar with the workings of the language. <? // ...Just swap the values. list($biggest, $smallest) = array($smallest, $biggest); /********************* the array function does create a intermediate variable. *********************/ ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.assignment.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43859 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43859&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43859&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
