prev

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

prevDecrementa il puntatore interno dell'array

Descrizione

prev(array $array): mixed

Restituisce l'elemento dell'array che sta nella posizione precedente a quella attuale indicata dal puntatore interno, oppure false se non ci sono altri elementi.

Avviso

Se l'array contiene degli elementi vuoti la funzione restituirà false per questi valori. Per esplorare correttamente un array che può contenere elementi vuoti vedere la funzione each().

prev() si comporta come next(), tranne per il fatto di decrementare il puntatore interno di una posizione, invece che incrementarlo.

Example #1 Esempio di prev() e funzioni relative

<?php
$trasporti
= array('piedi', 'bicicletta', 'automobile', 'aereo');
$mode = current($trasporti); // $mode = 'piedi';
$mode = next($trasporti); // $mode = 'bicicletta';
$mode = next($trasporti); // $mode = 'automobile';
$mode = prev($trasporti); // $mode = 'piedi';
$mode = end($trasporti); // $mode = 'aereo';
?>

Vedere anche current(), end(), next() e reset().

This function searches for the closest element in an array by key value, and returns the key/value pair, or false if not found.

<?php
function nearest($array, $value, $exact=false) {
// Initialize Variables
$next = false;
$prev = false;
$return = false;

if(!isset(
$array[$value]) && !$exact) {
// Insert element that doesn't exist so nearest can be found
$array[$value] = '-';
}

if(
$exact && isset($array[$value])) {
// If exact match found, and searching for exact (not nearest), return result.
$return = Array($value=>$array[$value]);
} else {
// Sort array so injected record is near relative numerics
ksort($array); // Sort array on key

// Loop through array until match is found, then set $prev and $next to the respective keys if exist
while ( !is_null($key = key($array)) ) {
$val = current($array);
if(
$key == $value) {
prev($array); // Get entry before this one
$prev = key($array);
next($array); // Skip current entry as this was what we were looking for nearest to
next($array); // Get entry after this one
$next = key($array);
break;
}
next($array);
}

if(
$prev && $next) {
if((
$long - $prev) > ($next - $long)) {
// Previous is closer
$return = Array($prev=>$array[$prev]);
} else {
// Next is closer
$return = Array($next=>$array[$next]);
}
} elseif (
$prev || $next) {
if(
$prev) {
// Only Previous exists
$return = Array($prev=>$array[$prev]);
} elseif (
$next) {
// Only Next exists
$return = Array($next=>$array[$next]);
}
}
}

// Return resulting Array(). $return is false if nothing matches the closest conditions, or if exact is specified and key does not exist.
return $return;
}
?>

Example usage (to lookup the closest color in an array)
<?php
$mycolors
= Array(
5001046=>'Abbey',
1774596=>'Acadia',
8171681=>'Acapulco',
6970651=>'Acorn',
13238245=>'Aero Blue',
7423635=>'Affair',
8803850=>'Afghan Tan',
13943976=>'Akaroa',
16777215=>'Alabaster',
16116179=>'Albescent White',
10176259=>'Alert Tan',
30371=>'Allports'
);

// Color to search for in Hex
$color = 'C0C0C0';

// Convert Hex to Long to compare with array() keys
$colorlong = base_convert($color,16,10);

// Check for an exact match
$result = nearest($mycolors, $colorlong, true);
if(
$result) {
echo
"An exact match was found for #" . $color . " which is called '" . $result[key($result)] . "'";
} else {
echo
"No exact match was found";
}

if(!
$result) {
// Check for closest match
$result = nearest($mycolors, $colorlong, true);
if(
$result) {
// Match found
echo "The closest match for #" . $color . " is #" . base_convert(key($result),10,16) . " which is called '" . $result[key($result)] . "'";
} else {
// No match found
echo "No match was found for #" . $color;
}
}
?>

Here's a slight revision to xmlich02's backwards iteration example. The problem with his/her example is that it will halt if any of the array elements are boolean false, while this version will not.

<?php

end
($ar);
while ( !
is_null($key = key($ar)) ) {
$val = current($ar);
echo
"{$key} => {$val}\n";
prev($ar);
}

?>

Function to get element in array, that goes previous your key or false if it not exeists or key doesn't isset in array.

<?php

function previousElement(array $array, $currentKey)
{
if (!isset(
$array[$currentKey])) {
return
false;
}
end($array);
do {
$key = array_search(current($array), $array);
$previousElement = prev($array);
}
while (
$key != $currentKey);

return
$previousElement;
}
