Re: [PHP-DEV] list() limitations

2002-04-06 Thread Andi Gutmans 

Hashes don't have any notion of order so I don't quite understand what 
you'd expect to see in $a and what in $b. Well actually I know what you 
expect but it doesn't fit in with hashes.
It's not a bug but just the way list() works.

Hello, the following behavior seems odd:

   // This of course works as expected
   while(list(,$ab) = each($foo)) {
   print $ab;
   }

I recently documented this numerical requirement (starting
at 0) as a note but find it odd.  This is mentioned as a
bug in a few places but I can't find any closed reports.
It's a pretty good feature request, right?
