I must be getting old, but I cannot seem to find a function that swaps the data of two array entries. Like so:

$ar[0] = "second";
$ar[1] = "first";

array_swap ($ar, 0, 1);

I have not overlooked the sort functions, that is not what I am after. But I may have overlooked other possibilities. Searching for "swap" in the PHP .CHM (fairly recent) yielded no hits.

You can do this in one statement with list().
  list($ar[1], $ar[0]) = array($ar[0], $ar[1]);

Note that due to how list() works you CANNOT use a shorthand of
  list($ar[1], $ar[0]) = $ar;

Fair point. Not really convinced we need this in the language anyway: it's easy 
enough to implement in userspace.
