Using end() to Move an Array Pointer to the Last Element in PHP

The end() function in PHP moves the internal pointer of an array to the last element and returns that element's value.

Function signature: mixed end (array &$array) Parameter description:

array – The array to be processed. It is passed by reference because the function modifies the internal pointer, so you must provide a real variable, not a temporary return value.

Return value: The value of the last element, or FALSE if the array is empty.

Example:

<?php
$fruits = array('apple', 'banana', 'cranberry');
echo end($fruits);
?>

Output: // cranberry This demonstrates that after calling end($fruits), the pointer is positioned at the last element ( 'cranberry') and that value is printed.
