note 92079 added to function.each

Call me a NOOB, but even with pyxl's comment at the very beginning, I do not understand how the code block in Example #2 echos each key and value of $fruit. Even though pyxl explains: "Well, upon executing that code, it turns out that the first two array elements of the 4 element array that each() creates are assigned to those two variables, and the last two array element values are just thrown away", I would think that the "first two array elements" that each($fruits) spits out be [1] => 'apple', [value] => 'apple' and "the last two element values [to be] thrown away" be [0] => 'a', [key] => 'a'. Would that not be consistent with the demonstration of each() in Example #1? In order to avoid asking a question, I humbly request that someone explain one more time how 'a' ends up being passed to $key and 'apple' to $val in Example #2. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 75.70.116.230 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.each.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92079 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92079/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92079/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92079/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92079/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92079/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92079/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92079 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92079 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
