'list' is kind of like an array de-constuctor.
<?php
$example = array(1, 2, 3);
list($x, $y, $z) = $example;
echo "x: $x y: $y z: $z\n\n";
?>
x: 1 y: 2 z: 3

$result is an array:
array('Ross', 'Hosting Company', 'Comfy', 'aztechost.com');
'list' is tearing that array apart into individual variables.
