Consider fixing the documentation, to reflect this "expected"
behaviour. I changed the category to documentation problem and status
back to open.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

In PHP 5 this is the expected behavior.

Description:
------------
list() overwriting variable, unexpected result (different from php4).

Reproduce code:
---------------
$v = array("00","-- Day --");
list($k,$v) = $v;
var_dump(array($k,$v));

Expected result:
----------------
Var dump should return:

array(2) {
[0]=> string(2) "00"
[1]=> string(11) "-- Day -- "
}

Actual result:
--------------
Var dump returns:

array(2) {
[0]=> string(1) "-"
[1]=> string(11) "-- Day -- "
}
