array_pop

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

array_pop -- Pop the element off the end of array

Description

mixed array_pop ( array &array )

array_pop() pops and returns the last value of the array, shortening the array by one element. If array is empty (or is not an array), NULL will be returned.

Note: This function will reset() the array pointer after use.

Example 1. array_pop() example

<?php
$stack = array("orange", "banana", "apple", "raspberry");
$fruit = array_pop($stack);
print_r($stack);
?>

After this, $stack will have only 3 elements: 

Array
(
    [0] => orange
    [1] => banana
    [2] => apple
)

and raspberry will be assigned to $fruit.
