I find current() very useful to peek ahead in a foreach() iteration. This works because when the block begins, foreach has already selected the element and advanced the pointer. Another handy trick is to use current() to see if the current block is processing the last element of the array. $stepArray = array("first", "second", "third"); foreach ($stepArray as $step) { $afterThis = current($stepArray); if (empty($afterThis)) print "$step is the last element; there are no more"; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.current.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42106 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42106&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42106&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
