Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34506&edit=1 ID: 34506 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: shrub at yahoo dot com Summary: would like an array_key_value_pop function -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Feature/Change Request +Package: *General Issues Operating System: n/a PHP Version: 5.1.0RC1 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: nikic Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Closing this as this is already possible simply by using array_splice: $a = array ("red"=>"12a", "fish" => "rock", "blue" => "xyz"); var_dump(array_splice($a, -1)); var_dump(array_splice($a, -1)); var_dump(array_splice($a, -1)); The pop operation is intended for use with stacks and you don't need the key in that case. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-15 04:14:56] shrub at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ When you call array_pop on an array, you only get back the value. It would be nice if there was an array_key_value_pop function that returned both the key and the value. Reproduce code: --------------- function array_key_value_pop (&$a) { end($a); $lastItem = each($a); array_pop($a); return array($lastItem["key"] => $lastItem["value"]); } Expected result: ---------------- $a = array ("red"=>"12a", "fish" => "rock", "blue" => "xyz"); print_r (array_key_value_pop($a)); Array ( [blue] => xyz ) print_r($a); Array ( [red] => 12a [fish] => rock ) Actual result: -------------- n/a ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34506&edit=1
