How to not process last value in loop?

[Jwest100]

I have this code which works as expected:

 

foreach($bidders as $val) {

$losing_bidder = ($val->email);

echo $losing_bidder;

}

 

Let us assume the output is:

Bob@email.com

Joe@email.com

Cindy@email.com

Willis@email.com

 

I need to have the loop always ignore (or not echo, or not process) the last value in the array. What adjustment to the code would accommodate that??

 

Thanks much!

I would remove the last element in the array before starting the loop.

 

array_pop()

Note that this modifies the original array, so the element is permanently lost. If you still need the full array for other purposes, use array_slice() instead. This returns a modified copy while leaving the original data alone.

Not if you assign the return value of array_pop() to a variable.

<?php
 
$lastBidder = array_pop($bidders);
 
//$lastBidder is set to the value of the last value
//$bidders now contains all values except the last value
 
?>

But, yeah, if you still need the array to contain all the values for other purposes another process is needed.
