在PHP中的两个变量的值之间进行替换

Question

I was wondering if it could be possible to make a substitution between the values of two variables, in PHP.

I can explain it better:

<?php
    $a = "Cat";
    $b = "Dog";

    // The strange/non-existent function I am talking about //
    MakeSubstitution($a, $b);

    // After this (non-existent) function the values of the variables should be:
        // $a = "Dog"
        // $b = "Cat"
?>

So, does it exist? I made searches but I found no results. Thanks in advance.

Try this :

$a = "Cat";
$b = "Dog";

list($a,$b) = array($b,$a);

echo $a;
echo $b;
