Array_Slice

Returns a new array containing a sequence of elements of the given array.

Syntax

array Array_Slice(
	Array array, 
	Numeric offset, 
	Numeric length, 
	Bool preserveKeys)

Parameters

Array array
Array to get elements from.
Numeric offset
The start offset to get elements. If non-negative, the sequence will start that far away from the beginning of the array. If negative, the sequence will start that far away from the end of the array.
Numeric length
The length of the sequence. If there aren't that many elements in the array, the resulting array can be shorter.
Bool preserveKeys
If true, the values in the resulting array will have the same keys as in the input array. If false, the resulting array will have numeric keys starting from zero.

Examples

$array = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) // 3 elements starting at index 4 $slice = Array_Slice($array, 4, 3, false) // $slice is (5, 6, 7) // First 4 elements $slice = Array_Slice($array, 0, 4, false) // $slice is (1, 2, 3, 4) // 2 elements starting at 4th element from the end (7) $slice = Array_Slice($array, -4, 2, false) // $slice is (7, 8) // Last 3 elements $slice = Array_Slice($array, -3, 3, false) // $slice is (8, 9, 10) // Preserve keys $slice = Array_Slice($array, 4, 3, true) // $slice is: // 4 => 5 // 5 => 6 // 6 => 7
