They say "If the result is not a valid variable name, it is not imported into the symbol table." What they should say is that if _any_ of the results have invalid names, _none_ of the variables get extracted. Under 4.3.10 on Windows 2000, I was pulling some mySQL records, but needed to convert two fields into IP addresses: <? extract(mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query('SELECT * FROM foo'))); extract(mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query('SELECT INET_NTOA(bar) AS bar, INET_NTOA(baz) FROM foo'))); ?> I had forgotten the second AS modifier in the SQL query. Because it couldn't extract a variable called INET_NTOA(baz) into the symbol table, it didn't do either of them. (BTW I don't normally stack functions up like that! Just to make a short example!) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50549 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50549&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50549&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50549&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50549&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50549&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50549&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
