Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-04-16 21:59:29] levim@php.net Is this something you are still interested in? I think array_pop and array_shift are designed to work with stack and queue like behavior, so the key is completely irrelevant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-13 10:46:38] simon at stienen dot name Description: ------------ The functions array_shift and array_pop should get an optional second parameter, taking a reference to a variable in which the key of the shifted/popped element will be stored. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $a = array( 'foo' => 'bar', 'qux' => 'quux' ); $value = array_shift($a, $key); echo "$key: $value"; Expected result: ---------------- foo: bar Actual result: -------------- array_shift does not take a second parameter at the moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48542&edit=1
