       If the array contains empty elements (0 or "", the empty
       string) then this function will return false for these elements
       as well.  This makes it impossible to determine if you are
       really at the end of the list in such an array using
       <B
CLASS="function"
>current()</B
>.  To properly traverse an array
       that may contain empty elements, use the
       <A

><B
CLASS="function"
>each()</B
