the logic of the application.Um, you could, uh, write a function called
array_first() that does the reset() and then calls each()?  Then maybe
even calls reset() again?  Then you could, like, maybe, only use this
function and not make arbitrary use of each() and reset() in your code?And
btw, when you write that function, pass the array by reference, not by
value.Best of luck, tell us how it works out. >  > Mike >
