let's say we have the following associative array:
$array = array(
"red" => "ferrari",
"yellow" => "volkswagen",
"green" => "mercedes",
"blue" => "volvo"
);
then we have a current index into the array:
$index = "yellow";
$current = $array[$index];
now: how do i get the key of the next array element (in this case "green")?
$next = ?
Give this a shot
<?php
function array_next($ar, $curr) {
$capture = false;
$next = '';
foreach ( $ar AS $k => $v ) {
if ( $capture ) {
return array($k => $v);
}
if ( $k == $curr ) {
$capture = true;
}
}
return $next;
}
$array = array(
"red" => "ferrari",
"yellow" => "volkswagen",
"green" => "mercedes",
"blue" => "volvo"
);
print_r( array_next($array, 'yellow') );
