base on my understanding, this how list() work.
list($A1,$A2,$A3) = array($B1,B2,B3);
So with the help of list()
we can assign val
This is not what PHP's list
is meant for. From the official PHP docs
list is not really a function, but a language construct.
list() is used to assign a list of variables in one operation.
In other words, the compiler does not actually invoke a function but directly compiles your code into allocations for variables and assignment.
You can specifically skip to a given element, by setting commas as follows:
list($var1, , $var2) = Array($B1, B2, B3);
echo "$var1 is before $var2 \n";
or take the third element
list( , , $var3) = Array($B1, B2, B3);
(I am assuming B2, B3 are constants? Or are you missing a $
?)
Specifically using list
, you can use PHP's variable variables
to create variables from an arbitrary one-dimensional array as follows:
$arr = array("arrindex0" => "apple", "banana", "pear");
reset($arr);
while (list($key, $val) = each($arr)) {
$key = is_numeric($key) ? "someprefix_" . $key : $key;
echo "key sdf: $key
\n";
$$key = $val;
}
var_dump($arrindex0, $someprefix_0, $someprefix_1);
Result
string 'apple' (length=5)
string 'banana' (length=6)
string 'pear' (length=4)
