And I thought it was neat, can't please everyone I guess (:
There seems to be a general problem with array functions and people
that want the pointer to be preserved. Rather than making functions
always do this (which makes them slower and is generally a pain) or
adding extra options to a lot of functions, how about a function
for setting the pointer?
I could in order to save the position do $key = key($arr). To
restore it later, I could then do something like array_setpos($key).
I'm not sure if the Zend API allows for setting the position without
looping through the array though. If array_setpos() is passed a non-
existing key it should return FALSE, else TRUE.
What do you think?
