Description:
------------
I Just updated PHP today from 5.2.0 to PHP 5.2.3 and found that extract() didnt work if the array containes the danish letters "?", "?" or "?"...

Try running the code below ant you will see that $? is empty when it should be "2"...

I hope you will fix this bug for your next release...

Reproduce code:
---------------
$test[0] = array("e" => "2", "?" => "2");

print_r($test[0]);

extract($test[0]);


echo "<br /><br />".$e." - ".$test[0]['e'];
echo "<br /><br />".$?." - ".$test[0]['?'];

Expected result:
----------------
Array ( [e] => 2 [?] => 2 )

2 - 2

2 - 2

Actual result:
--------------
Array ( [e] => 2 [?] => 2 )

2 - 2

- 2

This happens because extract() uses isalpha() for checking the validity of variable name. Fix brewing..

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

And fix fixed now too. (some extract() tests failed due to bad logic in my earlier fix)
