Comments:
extract() was recently changed to return the number of extracted variables, so I guess
this can be closed.

Please make extract() return true if there was an array to process, or false if the
value of the 'array' parameter was not an array This change will simplify iterating
a database, and may be usefile elsewhere.
After the following query:
$Result = mysql_query( "SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 FROM Table" );
you will be able to display the conents of the table with:
while( extract( mysql_fetch_array( $Result )) {
echo $Field1, $Field2, $Field3;
}
rather than:
while( $A = mysql_fetch_array( $Result )) {
extract( $A );
echo $Field1, $Field2, $Field3;
}
This change should not affect backwards compatability, as existing users of extract()
don't expect any return value.
