Re: Two new functions array_first() and array_last()

Hmm, since the naming array_first and array_last doesn't clarify that it's returning a key or a value. What if it returned both as ?[key, value]. That opens quite a few use possibilities: $first = array_first($array); $value = $first[1] ?? throw new Exception(); [,$value] = array_first($array) ?? [null, null]; [,$value] = array_first($array) ?? throw new Exception();
