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 $stack having 3 elements left:
Array
(
[0] => banana
[1] => apple
[2] => raspberry
) |
and orange will be assigned to
$fruit.

array_push(), and
