I'm in favor of these functions. Right now I am doing: $firstItem = current($array) $secondItem = next($array) Which is simple and works, but really it's just by design that the code hasn't shifted the array pointer yet and I can cheat with current() If the pointer was shifted then I'd have to do reset(), which isn't good. array_first() for the win Many thanks, Paul > Saki > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
