Does PHP support array destructuring?

Question

I mean something like this:

$arr = ["1", "2", "3"];

$one;
$two;
$three;

$new = [$one, $two, $three] = $arr; 

As result I should get:

$one = 1;
$two = 2;
$three = 3;

I tried, it works in PHP 7.3.2:

var_dump($one); // returns 1

Answer 1

Indeed, it is listed as a new feature in PHP 7.1:

The shorthand array syntax ([]) may now be used to destructure arrays for assignments (including within foreach), as an alternative to the existing list() syntax, which is still supported.
