Do you use these PHP functions with arrays ??

[litewarez]

Ok so ill tell you the truth here.. i never heard of these functions until erlier today lol

what this basically does is allow you to paginate an array.. yes paginate

here's the function list and then some examples of them

next();
prev();
current();
reset();
end(); 

heres some usage examples

$array = array('litewarez','katz','phaze','others');
//Next
echo current($array);//litewarez
echo next($array); //katz
echo end($array);  //others
echo prev($array); //phaze
echo reset($array);//litewarez

next($array);
next($array);
next($array);
prev($array);
next($array);

echo current($array); // others 

this navigation is stored like sessions so your position is always held.

heres a full example of usage

$aFruit = array ('Tried' => array('Apple', 'Kiwi'),
                    'Not Tried' => array('Pear', 'Orange', 'Banana')
                     );

while($aChild = key($aFruit))
{
    while($szItem = current($aFruit[$aChild]))
    {
        echo current($aFruit[$aChild]) . '<br />';
        next($aFruit[$aChild]);
    }
    next($aFruit);
} 

hope i brought a little more tips to the table

Nice one dude.

z0omg it's litewarez with another great piece of code
PS: Never heard of it either.

I prefer not to, really there is no point for most applications, foreach is faster.

99% of php prebuilt functions are faster than the one we build, so I will consider this. thanks

so when usung a foreach loop your going threw a whole array but by using these functions php will remember the current position the you navigated to. aka the word pagination
