Consider the following array.
$a['a'] = 1;
$a['b'] = 2;
$a['c'] = 3;
$a['d'] = 4;
and then i am looping the array
foreach( $a as $q => $x )
{
# Some operations ....
if( isLastElement == false ){
#Want to do some more operation
}
}
How can i know that the current position is last or not ?
Thanks.
Take a key of last element & compare.
$last_key = end(array_keys($a));
foreach( $a as $q => $x )
{
# Some operations ....
if( $q == $last_key){
#Your last element
}
}
foreach (array_slice($a, 0, -1) as $q => $x) {
}
extraProcessing(array_slice($a, -1));
EDIT:
I guess the first array_slice is not necessary if you want to do the same processing on the last element. Actually neither is the last.
foreach ($a as $q => $x) {
}
extraProcessing($q, $x);
The last elements are still available after the loop.
end() call would have to go outside the loop as it gets the last value and sets the internal pointer to it rather than checking for it.<?php
$a['a'] = 1;
$a['b'] = 2;
$a['c'] = 3;
$a['d'] = 4;
$endkey= end(array_keys($a));
foreach( $a as $q => $x )
{
# Some operations ....
if( $endkey == $q ){
#Want to do some more operation
echo 'last key = '.$q.' and value ='.$x;
}
}
?>
countof your arraycount($a)will return the number of element in your array, so you can use an integer initialized to 0 before the loop increment it at each loop, and compare it with the count of the array. You will be able to know when you are on the last element.
