Maybe it is just late, but this is bugging me.
I got this example from the PHP documentation
(http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.array-slice.php):
$input = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");
$output = array_slice($input, 2); // returns "c", "d", and "e"
print_r($output);
$output = array_slice($input, -2, 1); // returns "d"
print_r($output);
$output = array_slice($input, 0, 3); // returns "a", "b", and "c"
print_r($output);
What is baffling me is why the second array_slice returns "d" instead of "c",
"d".
Perhaps the wording they use in the offset gives away the answer, but if so,
then I submit that they are being inconsistent. An array starts counting at 0
(unless you specify otherwise). If the non-negative offset specified is 2 then
is will start at the third offset. One would think that the negative offset
should work the same way, but in reverse.
Someone set me straight, please. I need to just put this down for the night.
Thanks,
Jonathan
