Note Submitter: Jase ---- jpakin at gmail dot com In your example you implying a while would be faster. If your using PHP5, this is not the case. For large memory arrays, it's MUCH faster and more efficient to use a reference in a foreach <?php $large_array = array(.......); /* use reference when retrieving value */ foreach($large_array as $key => &$value){ $value is not a reference } unset($value); //unset this else an incorrect use of this variable later may cause undesired effects ?>
