note 38083 deleted from function.extract by aidan

Note Submitter: dkellner ---- 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.
