note 104042 added to function.array-splice

doug at badblue dot com: That is not unexpected behaviour, it is as the documentation says: "Returns the array consisting of the extracted elements." In your example, $aIn is the array that gets truncated, $aOut is an array of the elements that were removed. As the offset is more than the size of the array, no elements were removed and so an empty array was returned. This should make it clearer: <?php $array = array('Apple', 'Pear', 'Cherry'); $return = array_splice($array, 2); var_dump($array); // array('Apple', 'Pear'); var_dump($return); // array('Cherry'); ?> ---- Server IP: 109.169.40.147 Probable Submitter: 81.149.174.43 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-splice.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104042 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104042/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104042/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104042/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104042/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104042/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104042/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104042 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104042 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
