Swap two variables value without using third variable in php

<?php 
//swap two numbers without using third variable
$x=20;
$y=10;

//add x and y, store in x i.e : 30
$x=$x+$y;

//subtract  10 from 30  i.e : 20 and store in y
$y=$x-$y; 

//subtract 20 from 30 i.e : 10 and store in x
$x=$x-$y;

//now print the reversed values
echo "Now x contains : ". $x ."<br/>";
echo "and y contains : ". $y;

?>

Without Using Third Variable but using Some Predefined Functions

<?php 

$a = 10;

$b = 20;

list($a, $b) = array($b, $a);

echo  $a . " " . $b;

?>
