Quick Reference
The PHP array_reverse() function returns an array in the reverse order.
If the optional preserve_keys is set to true, numeric keys are preserved. Non-numeric keys are not affected by this setting and will always be preserved.
<?php
$a = array('Lamborghini', 'Ferrari', 'Maserati');
print_r(array_reverse($a, true));
?>Note
Arrays count starting from zero NOT one. So item 1 is position [0], item 2 is position [1], and item 3 is position [2] … and so on.
Output
Array ( [2] => Maserati [1] => Ferrari [0] => Lamborghini )Syntax

PHP Notes:
- When using PHP, single or double quotation marks are acceptable and work identically to one another; choose whichever you prefer, and stay consistent
- Arrays count starting from zero NOT one; so item 1 is position [0], item 2 is position [1], and item 3 is position [2] … and so on
We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
