How can I reset an array in PHP? ..

Answer / jude jeevanraj.p

Sometimes if you are moving through the various elements in
an array, you will want to return the pointer to the
beginning of the array.

This is easily done with the reset function, like this:
reset($array);

This returns the first element and sets it as the current
element.

Here is a little example just to make this technique clear:

<?php
$numbers = array("Item 1","Item 2","Item 3");
next($numbers);
$thisvalue = current($numbers); echo "We are now at
$thisvalue\n\n";
$first = reset($numbers);
echo "Back to $first";
?>

Answer / ram

The reset () function moves the internal pointer to the
first element of the array. This function returns the value
of the first element in the array on success, or FALSE on
failure.
Syntax: reset(array)

<?php
echo date("Y-m-d");
$people = array("Prasad", "Ram", "vidhya");

echo current($people) . "<br />";
echo next($people) . "<br />";

echo reset($people);
?>
