php-doc-en/reference/array/functions/next.xml
Torben Wilson af4410a7e1 Normalized the sgml-default-dtd-file local-variable line for those
still using this, after discussion on the phpdoc list.
From now on, manual.ced will need to be found at ~/.phpdoc/manual.ced.

<function>next</function> behaves like
<function>current</function>, 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.

You won't be able to distinguish the end of an array from a
<type>boolean</type> &false; element. To properly traverse an array
which may contain &false; elements, see the <function>each</function>
function.
