end()

[The Plankmeister]

The following code always prints 45, not "Humpty Dumpty". But in the
documentation for end() this behaviour is not specified when passed an
associative array. I'm assuming that end() behaves this way in all versions
of PHP?

$test = array("Fred" => 12, "Bill" => 23, "Bob" => 34, "Humpty Dumpty" =>
45);
echo end($test);

This is according to the documentation.

Your line $test = array(...) is the same as

unset($test);
$test['Fred'] = 12;
$test['Bill'] = 23;
$test['Bob'] = 34;
$test['Humpty Dumpty'] = 45;

end() returns the value of the last element of the array;
the last element of $test is $test['Humpty Dumpty'] and its value is 45.
