last in the array

[glenelkins]

is there a simple way to tell if my loop on an array is looking at the last record in the array? or is the only way to use a counter?

example code

[code]
foreach ($array as $array2) {
    if ($array2 is the last record) {
        echo "last record";
    } else {
        echo $array2;
    }
}
[/code]

You're going to have to use a counter of some kind, but count($array_name) will give you the number of items in the array (starting at 1, the indexes of the array start at 0).

Something like this:
[code]<?php

$array = array("hello", "world", "again");

// loop through array
foreach($array as $key)
{
   // check that the current value $key is equal to the last value in the arrray
    if($key == end($array))
    {
        echo "end of array! - " . $key . "<br />\n"; // end of array
    }
    else
   {
        echo "array is at key " . $key . "<br />\n"; // not end of array
    }
}
?>[/code]

Heh... I didn't know about end().
