Summary: Function like current(), but advancing the internal
array pointer by one
-Status: Open

Type: Feature/Change Request
Package: *General Issues
Operating System: Whatever
PHP Version: 5.3.3

New Comment:
This is basically a value-only version of each() with the same problem
that makes current() and next() more or less useless for iterating:
false values can't be distinguished from the end of the array. I don't
really think there's much need for yet another array function for
something that's so easily done in userspace.
Closing won't fix.

Description:
------------
It would be great to have a function which is just like current, with
the
difference that it advances the array pointer to the next element after
reading
the current value.
When using current() in a loop, you always have to call next().
Including a
function that acts like current() while automatically advancing the
array
pointer would be more elegant.
It can be implemented in PHP userland like this:
function currentPlusOne($array) {
$element = current($array);
next($array);
return $element;
}
A native implementation among current(), next() etc. would be ideal, of
course.
