next

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL axis2:0.1.0-0.1.1 xmlreader:1.0-1.0.1)

next — Advance the internal array pointer of an array

Description

mixed next ( array &$array )

Returns the array value in the next place that's pointed to by the internal array pointer, or FALSE if there are no more elements.

next() behaves like current(), with one difference. It advances the internal array pointer one place forward before returning the element value. That means it returns the next array value and advances the internal array pointer by one. If advancing the internal array pointer results in going beyond the end of the element list, next() returns FALSE.

Warning

Tämä funktio voi palauttaa Boolean-arvon FALSE, mutta voi myös palauttaa ei-Boolean-arvon joka evaluoituu arvoksi FALSE, kuten 0 tai "". Lisätietoja Boolean-arvot kappaleesta. Käytä paluuarvon testaukseen operaattoria ===.

Note: You won't be able to distinguish the end of an array from a boolean FALSE element. To properly traverse an array which may contain FALSE elements, see the each() function.

Example#1 Example use of next() and friends

<?php
$transport 
= array('foot''bike''car''plane');

$mode next($transport);    // $mode = 'bike';
$mode next($transport);    // $mode = 'car';
$mode prev($transport);    // $mode = 'bike';
$mode end($transport);     // $mode = 'plane';
