Is item last item in array?

[pattyb]

This seems like it would be so simple, but I haven't been able to solve it. I want to write a conditional statement to see if the current item in an array is the last item. I tried

if (count($array) == (current($array))

but that didn't work. count($array) will give me the number of items in the array. What do I use for the current position in the array?

Thanks!

try

if ( current($ar) === $ar[sizeof($ar)-1] )

That won't work if the value of the last element is not unique in the array.

$last_val = end($array);
$last_key = key($array);
reset($array); // Not necessary if using "foreach" loop)
foreach ($array as $key => $val) {
    if (key($array) == $last_key) {
        // Do something
    }
}

Depending on what you want to do with the last element, there's probably a better approach.

Edit: Incorrect statement revised.

So far no luck, but thanks for trying.

This is kind of long-winded and stuff, but you could use a while() statement to do whatever you are doing to this array. The while() statement should contein:

$i += 1;
if($i == count($arrayName)){
// Do something
}

Hope this helps

That won't work with an associative array. This will:

$last_val = end($array);
$last_key = key($array); 
//reset($array);  // Not necessary if using "foreach" loop) 
foreach ($array as $key => $val) { 
    if ($key == $last_key) { 
        // Do something.
    }
}
