I've been studying this for hours, searching the www & usenet, and
still can't figure out why 'each' returns an array of four key/value
pairs, when it looks like just two pairs would suffice...
That is, it looks to me like
[0] & ['key']
are the same, and also
[1] & ['value'],
so what's the point of duplicating them?
I'm assuming that in fact there are serious differences between
[0] and ['key']
and between
[1] and [value],
but I haven't a clue what that might be.
Any hints, URLs, explanaitons, etc. most welcome!
Thank you. 4 2344

Where do you get your array from?
Do you use mysql_fetch_arr ay() by any chance? By default it returns both an
indexed and an associative array.

Thanks for the response, Jon.
Actually, I'm wading my way through tutorial books, and this aspect
came up (presumably on its way to discussing mysql).
One piece of php code I've been using to try to understand this aspect
is:
<?php
$foo = array("FirstKey " => "1stValue") ;
$bar = each($foo);
print_r($bar);
?>
Which produces:
Array ( [1] => 1stValue [value] => 1stValue [0] => FirstKey [key] =>
FirstKey )
and I just don't see the point of having both [0] & ['key'], when they
appear to represent the same thing, and similarly [1] & ['value'],
I dare say I can live with it, but I don't like skipping over
something too lightly, and I'd welcome any further attempt to
enlighten me!
Thanks again.

Hi,
That's just default behaviour of each().
<quote>
Returns the current key and value pair from the array array and advances the
array cursor. This pair is returned in a four-element array, with the keys
0, 1, key, and value. Elements 0 and key contain the key name of the array
element, and 1 and value contain the data.

Thank you again, Jon...
So we have two pairs of data; and in each pair, one component is
effectively redundant.
That is, there is no use for [0] and [1], as 'key' and 'value' provide
all the info that's available or useful?
Weird kinda default behaviour to set up, though, isn't it? I could
understand it if, say, [0] always held a numerical key, so no matter
what you called it, it was always possible to refer to [0] to get a
key/value pair's position, or something.
Oh well...

in K&R Chapter 6.3
it mentions two methods to calculate NKEYS.
and points out the first one which is to terminate the list of
initializers with a null pointer, then loop along keytab until the end
is found is less efficient than using sizeof operator , since size of
the array is completely determined at compile time.
i don't quite understand this. Could anyone explain to me in detail ?
