[thelist] PHP String Indexed Arrays

[Jacob Aust]

Hi...

I'm somewhat of a beginner in PHP and I have been beating my head against
this one today.

I have a string indexed array that I am stepping through and formatting with
HTML. I am trying to figure out a way to find out when I am at the last item
in the array. My loop writes the value of each element and then inserts a
slash for separation from the next element. However, after the last item I
want to not output the slash.

Is it possible to referenct items in a string indexed array by a numeric
index? I can easily get the number of items in the array with count(), but
how do I tell if the current item in a foreach() loop is the last one?

Here's my code:
-----------------------

$myhref = "index.php";

$sections = array ("case" => "case studies", "client" => "by client", "type"
=> "by type");


function print_sections() {
    global $sections;
    global $myhref;
    echo"<p class=\"subWORK\">";
    foreach ($sections as $sectionID => $section) {
        echo"<a href=\"$myhref?$sectionID\"> $section </a>";
        $LastElement = ????????
        if (!$LastElement) {
                echo"//";
        }
    }

}

-------------------------

What I am trying to do is figure out how to set $LastElement to FALSE when
the item is anything but the last element of the array and TRUE when it is
the last element.


Any suggestions?
