Hi,
Why isn't there a function that acts like array_pop() returns a pair of
key-value rather than the value only ?
Reason is, that in order to pop the key-value pair, you do:
<?php
$arr = array('a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>3,'d'=>4);
$arr_keys = array_keys($arr);
$key = array_pop($arr_keys);
$value = $arr[$key];
?>
I benchmarked array_keys() function and it is very slow on big arrays
since PHP has to build the array.
benchmark this:
end($arr);
list($key, $value) = each($arr);
