array_pop

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

array_popPop the element off the end of array

Description

mixed array_pop ( array &$array )

array_pop() pops and returns the last value of the array, shortening the array by one element. If array is empty (or is not an array), NULL will be returned. Will additionally produce a Warning when called on a non-array.

Note: This function will reset() the array pointer of the input array after use.

Parameters

array

The array to get the value from.

Return Values

Returns the last value of array. If array is empty (or is not an array), NULL will be returned.

Examples

Example #1 array_pop() example

<?php
$stack 
= array("orange""banana""apple""raspberry");
$fruit array_pop($stack);
print_r($stack);
?>

After this, $stack will have only 3 elements:

Array
(
    [0] => orange
    [1] => banana
    [2] => apple
)

and raspberry will be assigned to $fruit.

  • array_shift() - Shift an element off the beginning of array
  • array_unshift() - Prepend one or more elements to the beginning of an array

Hi
Here there is a function that delete a elemente from a array and re calculate indexes

<?php
function eliminarElementoArreglo ($array$indice)
{
    if (
array_key_exists($indice$array)) 
    {
       
$temp $array[0];
       
$array[0] = $array[$indice];
       
$array[$indice] = $temp;
       
array_shift($array);

       
//reacomodamos ?ndices
       
for ($i $i $indice $i++)
        {
           
$dummy $array[$i];
           
$array[$i] = $temp;
           
$temp $dummy;
        }
    }
    return 
$array;
}
?>

strrchr is a lot more useful than the other example using array_pop for finding the extension of a file. For example:

<?php
$ext 
strrchr($filename".");
?>

$ext will contain the extension of the file, including a ".", if the file has an extension, and FALSE if the file has no extension. If the file has multiple extensions, such as "filename.tar.gz", then this construction will just return the last extension.

In a previous example ...
<?php
function array_trim $array$index ) {
   if ( 
is_array $array ) ) {
     unset ( 
$array[$index] );
     
array_unshift $arrayarray_shift $array ) );
     return 
$array;
     }
   else {
     return 
false;
     }
   }
?>

This have a problem. if u unset the last value and then use
<?
array_unshift 
$arrayarray_shift $array ) );
?>

will return a :  Array ( [0] => ) 
so u can fix it using...

<?php
if (count($array) > 0array_unshift $valuesarray_shift $values ) );           
?>

good luck ;)

I had a problem when using this function because my array was made up entirley of numbers, so I have made my own function.  Hopefully it will be useful to somebody.

function array_trim_end($array){

$num=count($array);
$num=$num-1;
unset($array[$num]);

return $array;
}

Hi,

Here is a simple function which delete one element from the array (with value):
<?php
/*
* This function deletes the given element from a one-dimension array
* Parameters: $array:    the array (in/out)
*             $deleteIt: the value which we would like to delete
*             $useOldKeys: if it is false then the function will re-index the array (from 0, 1, ...)
*                          if it is true: the function will keep the old keys
* Returns true, if this value was in the array, otherwise false (in this case the array is same as before)
*/
function deleteFromArray(&$array$deleteIt$useOldKeys FALSE)
{
   
$tmpArray = array();
   
$found FALSE;
    foreach(
$array as $key => $value)
    {
        if(
$value !== $deleteIt)
        {
            if(
FALSE === $useOldKeys)
            {
               
$tmpArray[] = $value;
            }
            else
            {
               
$tmpArray[$key] = $value;
            }
        }
        else
        {
           
$found TRUE;
        }
    }
   
   
$array $tmpArray;
   
    return 
$found;
}
?>

Maybe it will help somebody...

I think you are still tired. What would be wrong with:

<?php
$array 
= array('one''two''three''four');

//pop the last element off
array_pop($array);

//$array == array('one', 'two', 'three'); 
?>

As the documentation clearly notes, array_pop() not only returns the last element, but actually removes it from the array wich is passed by reference. Calling array_diff is a waste of resources.

I wrote a simple function to perform an intersect on multiple (unlimited) arrays.

Pass an array containing all the arrays you want to compare, along with what key to match by.

<?php
function multipleArrayIntersect($arrayOfArrays$matchKey)
{
   
$compareArray array_pop($arrayOfArrays);
   
    foreach(
$compareArray AS $key => $valueArray){
        foreach(
$arrayOfArrays AS $subArray => $contents){
            if (!
in_array($compareArray[$key][$matchKey], $contents)){
                unset(
$compareArray[$key]);
            }
        }
    }

    return 
$compareArray;
}
?>

For the sake of array_unshift()
:)

<?php
function array_unpop(&$arr) {
   
$args func_get_args(); unset($args[0]);
   
$tarr = array();
    foreach (
$args as $arg) {
       
$tarr[] = $arg;
    }
   
$arr array_merge($arr$tarr);
}

$queue = array("orange""banana");
array_unpop($queue"apple""raspberry");
print_r($queue);
?>

Array
(
    [0] => orange
    [1] => banana
    [2] => apple
    [3] => raspberry
)

Notice:
the complexity of array_pop() is O(1). 
the complexity of array_shift() is O(n).
array_shift() requires a re-index process on the array, so it has to run over all the elements and index them.

Strict Standards will be thrown out if you put exploded array in array_pop:
<?php
$a 
array_pop(explode(",""a,b,c"));
echo 
$a;
?>

You will see:
PHP Strict Standards:  Only variables should be passed by reference in - on line 2

Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in - on line 2
c

Notice that, you should assign a variable for function explode, then pass the variable reference into array_pop to avoid the Strict Standard warning.

Note that array_pop doesn't issue ANY warning or error if the array is already empty when you try to pop something from it. This is bizarre! And it will cause cascades of errors that are hard to resolve without knowing the real cause.

Rather than an error, it silently returns a NULL object, it appears, so in my case I ended up with warnings elsewhere about accessing elements of arrays with invalid indexes, as I was expecting to have popped an array. This behaviour (and the lack of any warning, when many trivial things are complained about verbosely) is NOT noted in the manual above. Popping an already empty stack should definitely trigger some sort of notice, to help debugging.

Sure, it's probably good practice to wrap the pop in an if (count($array)) but that should be suggested in the manual, if there's no error returned for trying something that should fail and obviously isn't expected to return a meaningful result.

array_pop doesn't care about your array keys, numeric or not, only the insertion order!

<?php
$array 
= array(
   
=> '33',
         
'00',
 
'b' => 'bb',
         
'44',
 
'a' => 'aa',
   
=> '11',
         
'55',
);
while( 
$array )  echo array_pop$array ), ' ';
// 55 11 aa 44 bb 00 33 
?>
