note 24206 added to function.array-shift

here is a rewritten array_shift function. as said above, it keeps the values intact, not like the native array_shift function. /** * Rewrite of array_shift * it keeps the keys intact! * @param array $array array for the removal of its first element * @return mixed the removed element * @access public **/ function my_array_shift(&$array){ /* move the internal pointer of the array to the first element */ reset($array); /** * Read the first element of the array * return both the vector and hash values **/ $temp = each($array); /** * Remove the element from the array **/ unset($array[$temp['key']]); /** * Return the extracted value as wanted **/ return $temp['value']; } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-shift.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24206 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24206 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24206
