Note that this function has a memory leak - it is not recommended to use in daemon applications that
run indefinitely.
Use the following to replace it as somewhat stated below
function array_shift_safe(&$arr)
{
$data = reset($arr);
$key = key($arr);
unset($arr[$key]);
return $data;
}
I noticed this as my application slowly climbed in memory reaching up to 100+ MB (from 10mb
baseline), and simply changing the 1 section of code using array_shift to the above stopped the
leak.
