array_shift --
Shift an element off the beginning of array
Description
mixed array_shift (array array)
array_shift() shifts the first value of the
array off and returns it, shortening the
array by one element and moving everything
down. If array is empty (or is not an
array), NULL will be returned.
Example 1. array_shift() example $stack = array ("orange", "banana", "apple", "raspberry");
$fruit = array_shift ($stack); |
This would result in $fruit having 3 elements left:
Array
(
[0] => banana
[1] => apple
[2] => raspberry
) |
and orange will be assigned to
$fruit.
