array_shift

Description

Array_shift() shifts the first value of the array off and returns it, shortening the array by one element and moving everything down.

Example 1. Array_shift() example $args = array ("-v", "-f"); $opt = array_shift ($args);

This would result in $args having one element "-f" left, and $opt being "-v".
