note 90492 added to control-structures.foreach

You may want to do something different on the last iteration through a foreach loop. For instance, if you're printing a series of HTML list elements, you may want to add a class like 'last' to the final <li> element. I had trouble finding a good way to do this with a foreach loop. The following code illustrates the method I worked out. <? $array = array('apples','bananas','cranberries','durians'); $last_item = end($array); foreach($array as $item) { if ($item == $last_item) { print "I like to eat " . $item; } } ?> The foreach loop outputs: 'I like to eat durians'. Technically, you could just use if ($item == end($array)), but I assume that would require more processing time. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 70.18.46.173 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90492 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90492/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90492/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90492/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90492/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90492/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90492/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90492 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90492 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
