SYNOPSIS

       mixed array_shift (array  &$array)

DESCRIPTION

       array_shift(3)  shifts  the  first value of the $array off and returns it, shortening the $array by one element and moving everything down.
       All numerical array keys will be modified to start counting from zero while literal keys won't be touched.

       Note

	      This function will reset(3) the array pointer of the input array after use.

PARAMETERS

	      o $array
		- The input array.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the shifted value, or NULL if $array is empty or is not an array.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      array_shift(3) example

	      <?php
	      $stack = array("orange", "banana", "apple", "raspberry");
	      $fruit = array_shift($stack);
	      print_r($stack);
	      ?>

	      (
		  [0] => banana
