PHP: Remove the first and last item of the array

Question

Suppose I have this array:

 $array = array(\'10\', \'20\', \'30.30\', \'40\', \'50\');

Questions:

What is the fastest/

Answer 1

Removes the first element from the array, and returns it:

array_shift($array);

Removes the last element from the array, and returns it:

array_pop($array);

If you dont mind doing them both at the same time, you can use:

array_shift($array,1,-1));

to knock off the first and last element at the same time.

Check the array_push, array_pop and array_slice documentation :)
