There's no need to apologize for Python comparison, Python is not a dirty word :) However, in PHP functions rarely return sets of tuples that can be manageably unpacked by this foreach syntax - usually it's either something like DB result set, which has unpredictable number of values, or one set of values, which doesn't need foreach. That's why I wanted to see a use case where this is beneficial. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
