current Return the current element in an array &reftitle.description; mixedcurrent arrayarray Every array has an internal pointer to its "current" element, which is initialized to the first element inserted into the array. &reftitle.parameters; array The array. &reftitle.returnvalues; The current function simply returns the value of the array element that's currently being pointed to by the internal pointer. It does not move the pointer in any way. If the internal pointer points beyond the end of the elements list or the array is empty, current returns &false;. &return.falseproblem; &reftitle.changelog; &Version; &Description; 7.0.0 array is now always passed by value. Prior to this version, it was passed by reference if possible, and by value otherwise. &reftitle.examples; ]]> &reftitle.notes; The results of calling current on an empty array and on an array, whose internal pointer points beyond the end of the elements, are indistinguishable from a boolean &false; element. To properly traverse an array which may contain &false; elements, see the foreach function. To still use current and properly check if the value is really an element of the array, the key of the current element should be checked to be strictly different from &null;. &reftitle.seealso; end key each prev reset next
