#21998 [Com]: array_pop() moves current element pointer since 4.3.0

ID: 21998 Comment by: nilsen at softease dot no Reported By: php at alterego dot dp dot ua Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: I just upgraded a machine here from 4.1.2 (redhat default installation) to 4.3.4. while (count($tree) > 1){ $tree[count($tree) - 2]["SELECTED"]["Children"] = $tree[count($tree) - 1]; array_pop($tree); } The above doesn't work after upgrading. We had to change it to this: while (count($tree) > 1){ $tree[count($tree) - 2]["SELECTED"]["Children"] = $tree[count($tree) - 1]; $tree = array_slice($tree,0,count($tree) - 1); } Wasn't this bug sorted out? Thanks.

See: http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/reference/array/functions/array-shift.xml http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/reference/array/functions/array-pop.xml http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/language-snippets.ent?r1=1.38&r2=1.39 Thank you for the report :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-03 11:02:08] sniper@php.net I have fixed this now in CVS. But the docs should mention that the pointer is reset by array_pop/array_shift. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-03 10:51:39] sniper@php.net Clarification: In PHP 4.2.3, the current array position was reset after array_pop() and array_shift(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-03 00:39:14] sniper@php.net magnus@php.net: I reverted my changes, not my fault. :-p But there is indeed some bug in this, since array_pop() should not affect the current key. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
