The array pointer can be pretty useful. ie. give me the second last element of an array: end($arr); echo prev($arr); Or have it tell you what the index is at the second last element: end($arr); prev($arr); echo key($arr); and the index before that one: prev($arr); echo key($arr); Perl has these too, they just aren't user accessible. -Rasmus
