reset

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

resetSet the internal pointer of an array to its first element

Description

reset(array|object &$array): mixed

reset() rewinds array's internal pointer to the first element and returns the value of the first array element.

Parameters

array

The input array.

Return Values

Returns the value of the first array element, or false if the array is empty.

Warning

This function may return Boolean false, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to false. Please read the section on Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 Calling this function on objects is deprecated. Either use get_mangled_object_vars() on the object first, or use ArrayIterator.

Examples

Example #1 reset() example

<?php

$array 
= array('step one''step two''step three''step four');

// by default, the pointer is on the first element
echo current($array) . "<br />\n"// "step one"

// skip two steps
next($array);
next($array);
echo 
current($array) . "<br />\n"// "step three"

// reset pointer, start again on step one
reset($array);
echo 
current($array) . "<br />\n"// "step one"

?>

Notes

Note: The return value for an empty array is indistinguishable from the return value in case of an array which has a bool false first element. To properly check the value of the first element of an array which may contain false elements, first check the count() of the array, or check that key() is not null, after calling reset().
