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

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 withinforeach), as an alternative to the existinglist()syntax, which is still supported.

The new shorthand also supports destructuring arrays with string keys by key rather than by order, a very nice addition.
