note 123200 added to function.next

brentimus' array_set_pointer function will only work if the array value is unique in the array, and none of the array values are FALSE. It would be more reliable to use key() instead of current(). For similar reasons it's better to check key() after calling next() to determine whether the next() element "exists". Simply checking the value returned by next() will produce a false negative when looking at, for example, the first element of the array: ['one', 0, 'three'] However, it also turns out that the copied array retains the original array's pointer, so array_set_pointer is not actually required here. The following should work: <?php function has_next(array &$array) { $A_work = $array; // $A_work is a copy of $array including its internal pointer. next($A_work); if (key($A_work) === NULL) return false; else return true; } ?> ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 185.205.172.226 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.next.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/123200 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123200/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123200/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123200/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123200/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123200/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123200/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123200 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/123200 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
