PHP - Function list()

Syntax

list ( $var1, $var2, $var3.. )

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

Sr.No	Parameter & Description
1	var1(Required) The first variable to assign a value to
2	var2(Optional) The second variable to assign a value to
3	var3(Optional) The third variable to assign a value to

Parameter & Description

var1(Required)

The first variable to assign a value to

var2(Optional)

The second variable to assign a value to

var3(Optional)

This does not return anything.

Try out following example −

<?php
   $fruit = array("mango","apple","banana");
   
   list($a, $b, $c) = $fruit;
   echo "I have several fruits, a $a, a $b, and a $c.";
?>

This will produce the following result −

I have several fruits, a mango, a apple, and a banana
