# list

list -- Assign variables as if they were an array

## Description

`void list`(...);

Like array(), this is not really a function, but a language construct. list() is used to assign a list of variables in one operation.

Example 1. list() example
    <table>
     <tr>
      <th>Employee name</th>
      <th>Salary</th>
     </tr>
    <?php

    $result = mysql($conn, "SELECT id, name, salary FROM employees");
    while (list($id, $name, $salary) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
        print(" <tr>\n".
              "  <td><a href=\"info.php3?id=$id\">$name</a></td>\n".
              "  <td>$salary</td>\n".
              " </tr>\n");
    }

    ?></table>
