Re: RFC array functions

Zeev and I designed each() to deprecate key()/current()/etc. which came from PHP/FI 2. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but just want to point out that there have always been some issues with the latter functions. If each() isn't suitable (and/or you want something quicker) than I'm OK with an array_* function but I don't like array_valid(). It sounds too much like is_array() and implies the array is valid. Maybe something like array_valid_position()? At 02:52 PM 5/27/2006, Marcus Boerger wrote:

I don't understand this one.

I think you have to listen to psychedelic music and take a hit of LSD first. Actually the point is that you cannot simply do stuff like "while(key($array))". And "while(key($array) != 0)" doesn't work either. Also "if (!key($array))" is probably different from what you expect. And of course "isset(key($array))" doens't work either.
