3/24    PHP masters, help. In Perl I used to be able to do the followings:
        ($var1,$var2,@rest)=@list_of_variables;
        @partial_list=@complete_list[5..10];
        Things of that nature. But in PHP I can't find this type of
        syntactic sugar anywhere on the manpage to do the shortcut so I
        end up doing clumsy things like
        $var1=$list_of_variables[0];
        ...
        Help :(
        \_ list($var1, $var2, $var3) = $list_of_variables;
           $partial_list = array_slice($complete_list, 5, 6);

              learn your PHP? Thanks so much.

                 Lots of typing alt-s (jumps you to the function search box
                 at the top) and guessing function names, then looking through
                 the list of matches and the list of functions in the same
                 package that shows up on the left nav when you're looking
                 at a given function def
