prev

Description

Returns the array value in the previous place that's pointed to by the internal array pointer, or FALSE if there are no more elements.

prev() behaves just like next(), except it rewinds the internal array pointer one place instead of advancing it.

Example 1. Example use of prev() and friends <?php $transport = array('foot', 'bike', 'car', 'plane'); $mode = current($transport); // $mode = 'foot'; $mode = next($transport); // $mode = 'bike'; $mode = next($transport); // $mode = 'car'; $mode = prev($transport); // $mode = 'bike'; $mode = end($transport); // $mode = 'plane'; ?>
