next
Advance the internal array pointer of an array
Description
mixednext
arrayarray
Returns the array value in the next place that's pointed to by the
internal array pointer, or &false; if there are no more elements.
next behaves like
current, with one difference. It advances
the internal array pointer one place forward before returning the
element value. That means it returns the next array value and
advances the internal array pointer by one. If advancing the
internal array pointer results in going beyond the end of the
element list, next returns &false;.
&return.falseproblem;
You won't be able to distinguish the end of an array from a
boolean &false; element. To properly traverse an array
which may contain &false; elements, see the each
function.
