prev

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

prevRewind the internal array pointer

Descrierea

mixed prev ( array &$array )

Rewind the internal array pointer.

prev() behaves just like next(), except it rewinds the internal array pointer one place instead of advancing it.

Parametri

array

The input array.

Valorile întroarse

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

Exemple

Example #1 Example use of prev() and friends

<?php
$transport 
= array('foot''bike''car''plane');
$mode current($transport); // $mode = 'foot';
$mode next($transport);    // $mode = 'bike';
$mode next($transport);    // $mode = 'car';
$mode prev($transport);    // $mode = 'bike';
$mode end($transport);     // $mode = 'plane';
?>

Note

Avertizare

Această funcţie poate întoarce valoarea Boolean FALSE, dar poate de asemenea întoarce o valoare non-Boolean care evaluează în FALSE, cum ar fi 0 sau "". Vă rugăm să citiţi secţiunea despre tipul Boolean pentru mai multe informaţii. Utilizaţi operatorul === pentru a verifica valoarea întoarsă de această funcţie.

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

Here's a slight revision to xmlich02's backwards iteration example. The problem with his/her example is that it will halt if any of the array elements are boolean false, while this version will not.

<?php

end
($ar);
while ( !
is_null($key = key($ar)) ) {
   
$val = current($ar);
    echo
"{$key} => {$val}\n";
   
prev($ar);
}

?>

// example of backward iteration

$ar = array ( 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f') ;

print_r($ar);

end($ar);
while($val = current($ar)) {
  echo $val.' ';
  prev($ar);
}
