hello
i just lost two hours on debugging a problem i wouldn't have
encountered, if the documentation
on the array_slice-method would be a bit more precisely.
maybe you can pronouce, that the 'offset', that is passed as the second
argument, is not an
offset as it is used as the arrays index, but as the internal pointer
of the array.
Example:
=========================
$a = array();
$a[1] = 'second';
$a[0] = 'first';
$b = array_slice( $a, 1 );
echo join( ', ', $b );
=========================
With something like this, i would exspect an output of:
second
In fact i get
first
because first has been added later. this is logical, as php-arrays are
associative
arrays only. But its a quite surprising result if you're familiar with
languages as
java, perl or c.
In general, i just want to add, that php is an excellent language for
cgi-
programming, but it also has some strange things (e.g. that a non
succuss-
full call to strpos returns false instead of -1 etc.)
bye
