PHP tuples. With PHP we can make Python tuples using an array and the list function, this is not built-in, but it's a way to make code more readable!

php_tuples.php

<?php

    function return_fake_tuples()
    {
        return array(
            'apple', 'banana'
        );
    }

    list($apple, $banana) = return_fake_tuples();

Because your gist ranks high on Google while not being up-to-date, I've created one, that is representing tuples using short array syntax and [] destructuring. See: https://gist.github.com/tbreuss/17b94b8bd74124ff75039a2b03a380c0
