Bug description: list() can't get values from associative arrays
list() function can only operate with indexed arrays, but it must also work
with associative arrays, otherwise it can cause confusions.
Take a look at the following example:
<?php
$array1 = array('aaa','bbb','ccc');
$array2 = array('a'=>'aaa','b'=>'bbb','c'=>'ccc');
list($a,$b,$c) = $array1;
echo "$a\n$b\n$c\n";
list($a,$b,$c) = $array2;
echo "$a\n$b\n$c\n";
?>
First list() invocation works well but second one throws notices about
undefined array indexes and don't work at all.
As a workaround it is possible to use:
list() = array_values($array);
but it is not a way to go.
