Awesome Thing About PHP Most of People Don't Know

Extract is your friend. Ever been in the situation where you need to say something like:

<?php

$name = $array['name'];
$surname = $array['surname'];
$message = $array['message'];

Then you may want to recall that you can use extract() to do the same.

Put simply, extract will remove the work behind this.

In this case, saying:

<?php

extract($array);

Will automatically make $name = $array['name'];

So, you can say "hello ".$name." ".$surname." Without do all of the declarations.

Of course, you always need to be mindful of validation and filtering, but there is a right way and a wrong way to do anything with PHP.
