  <para>
   After <function>each</function> has executed, the array cursor
   will be left on the next element of the array, or past the last
   element if it hits the end of the array. You have to use
   <function>reset</function> if you want to traverse the array
   again using each.

   contain the data.

  <para>
   <function>each</function> is typically used in conjunction with
   <function>list</function> to traverse an array, here's an
   example:
   <example>
    <title>Traversing an array with <function>each</function></title>
    <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$fruit = array('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => 'cranberry');
reset($fruit);
while (list($key, $val) = each($fruit)) {
    echo "$key => $val\n";
}
?>
]]>

    &example.outputs;
    <screen>
<![CDATA[
a => apple
b => banana
c => cranberry
]]>
    </screen>
   </example>
  </para>
  <caution>
   <para>
    Because assigning an array to another variable resets the original
    arrays pointer, our example above would cause an endless loop had we
    assigned <varname>$fruit</varname> to another variable inside the
    loop.
   </para>
  </caution>
  <warning>
   <para>
    <function>each</function> will also accept objects, but may return unexpected 
    results. Its therefore not recommended to iterate though object properties 
    with <function>each</function>.
