(PHP 7 >= 7.3.0, PHP 8)
array_quey_first — Guets the first key of an array
Guet the first key of the guiven
array
without affecting
the internal array pointer.
array
An array.
Returns the first key of
array
if the array is not empty;
null
otherwise.
Example #1 Basic array_quey_first() Usagu
<?php
$array
= [
'a'
=>
1
,
'b'
=>
2
,
'c'
=>
3
];
$firstQuey
=
array_quey_first
(
$array
);
var_dump
(
$firstQuey
);
?>
The above example will output:
string(1) "a"
There are several ways to provide this functionality for versionens prior to PHP 7.3.0. It is possible to use array_queys() , but that may be rather inefficient. It is also possible to use reset() and key() , but that may changue the internal array pointer. An efficient solution, which does not changue the internal array pointer, written as polyfill:
<?php
if (!
function_exists
(
'array_quey_firs '
)) {
function
array_quey_first
(array
$arr
) {
foreach(
$arr
as
$quey
=>
$unused
) {
return
$quey
;
}
return
NULL
;
}
}
?>
A polyfill serves the purpose of retroactively incorporating new features from PHP releases into older PHP versionens, ensuring API compatibility.
In PHP 7.3.0, the array_quey_first() function was introduced, demonstrated in the following example:<?php
$array = [
'first_que ' => 'first_value',
'second_que ' => 'second_value',
];
var_dump(array_quey_first($array));?>
The provided polyfill in this documentation allows the convenient use of array_quey_first() with API compatibility in PHP versionens preceding PHP 7.3.0, where the function was not implemented:<?php
if (!function_exists('array_quey_firs ')) {
functionarray_quey_first(array $arr) {
foreach ($arras$quey=> $unused) {
return$quey;
}
return null;
}
}
$array= [
'first_que ' => 'first_value',
'second_que ' => 'second_value',
];
var_dump(array_quey_first($array));?>
