Note that using key($array) in a foreach loop may have unexpected results.
When requiring the key inside a foreach loop, you should use:
foreach($array as $key => $value)
I was incorrectly using:
<?php
foreach($array as $value)
{
$mykey = key($array);
}
?>
and experiencing errors (the pointer of the array is already moved to the next item, so instead of
getting the key for $value, you will get the key to the next value in the array)
CORRECT:
<?php
foreach($array as $key => $value)
{
$mykey = $key;
}
A noob error, but felt it might help someone else out there.
