It shuffles the array

print_r($array);
?>

Output

Array
(
[0] => 3
[1] => 4
[2] => 5
[3] => 6
[4] => 7
)

It rewinds the internal array pointer

Example

<?php
$lan = array(“PHP”,”JSP”,”ASP”);

Output

PHP

It is an alias of current()

Example

<?php
$lan = array(“PHP”,”JSP”,”ASP”);

Output

JSP

It moves the internal array pointer of an array

JSP

It sorts an array using a “natural order” algorithm

Example

<?php
echo “<pre>”;
$lan = array(“PHP”,”JSP”,”ASP”);
natsort($lan);
print_r($lan);
?>

Array
