list - Assign variables as if they were an array
Manual
list(
mixed$var,
[ ... mixed$vars] ): array
Like array, this is not really a function, but a language construct. list is used to assign a list of variables in one operation. Strings can not be unpacked and list expressions can not be completely empty.
Note:
Before PHP 7.1.0, list only worked on numerical arrays and assumes the numerical indices start at 0.
Parameters
- var
-
A variable.
- vars
-
Further variables.
Return Values
Returns the assigned array.
