mult variable assignmesnt on one line

In Python, I can do something like this:

a,b,c = 1,2,3

How might I do this with PHP?

Thanks,
Bart

Have a look at list()
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.list.php

list($a, $b, $c) = Array(1, 2, 3);

should do it. But it's not as readable as Python... !-)

Thanks for the tip... guess I'll stick to doing on var at a time. One
last question: How can I split long lines of PHP code up into smaller
lines? For example, how can I turn this line:

$12 = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;

into this line:

$12 = xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx;

Thanks,
Bart

Yeps, I think that's a better choice here. Still, the list() function
may come in handy sometimes...

Assuming the xxxx is php code (not a string), you don't have anything
special to do. Like C and most maintstream languages, PHP uses ';' as
the instruction delimiter. So newlines, whitespaces etc have no special
meaning.

In the case that it IS a string, you could do this (using the .
concatenation operator):
$a = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx".
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxx".
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
