Description:

Hi,

The problem occur the pointer of an array is at the start and I do a prev().

If I try to do current() after that, I see nothing, and if I try next() and current() again, still nothing.

Bye

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$tab = array('4', '6');

echo current($tab);

prev($tab);
echo current($tab);

next($tab);
echo current($tab);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
446

Actual result:
--------------
4

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

You should check the return value of prev and next. The state is undefined as out of range. Reset the array after having reached the end or beginning.
