PHP - Getting the index of a element from a array

Question

How can I get the current element number when I\'m traversing a array?

I know about count(), but I was hoping there\'s a built-in function for getting the current field

Answer 1

You should use the key() function.

key($array)

should return the current key.

If you need the position of the current key:

array_search($key, array_keys($array));
