Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-18 11:24:20] theanomaly dot is at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The documentation for array_slice currently states that "Note: This function will reset() the array pointer of the input array after use.", which is not true. After having reviewed the source and confirmed with a test I'm submitting a patch to remove this note from the docs. Below I've provided a test script to prove that this behavior is non-existent. I also have a patch from edit.php.net to remove this note. Thanks. Test script: --------------- <?php $array = array(1,2,3,4); /* This should produce int(2) */ var_dump(next($array)); $slice = array_slice($array, -1); /* This should still produce int(2) */ var_dump(current($array)); $slice = array_slice($array, 2, 1); /* This should still produce int(2) */ var_dump(current($array)); /* This proves the array's internal pointer was never changed by array_slice() */ Expected result: ---------------- int(2) int(1) int(1) Actual result: -------------- int(2) int(2) int(2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62595&edit=1
