PHP Phrasebook

while (list($key, $value) = each($a))

Whenever each() is used, the use of list() is a good idea. Within list(), you provide variable names for all values with numerical indices in the array that is returned by each(). This makes while/each() loops even easier to use, as the code shows. Within the parentheses, the variable names are provided.

Looping Through an Array with list() and each() (each-list.php)

<?php $a = array('one' => 'I', 'two' => 'II', 'three' => 'III', 'four' => 'IV'); while (list($key, $value) = each($a)) { echo htmlspecialchars("$key: $value") . '<br />'; } ?>

TIP

If you are only interested in either the key or the value of the array, you can remove one of the two variables; just make sure that you keep the comma.

while (list(, $value) = each($a)) { echo htmlspecialchars("$value") . '<br />'; }
