<?Php
$input=array('One','Two','Three','Four','Five');
$output=array_shift($input);
echo $output; // Output is  One
echo "<br><br>";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($input)) {
echo "$key -> $val <br>";
}
?>

$input=array('Fruits1' =>'Banana','Fruits2'=>'Mango','Fruits3'=>'Apple','Fruits4'=>'Grapes');
$output=array_shift($input);
echo $output; // Output is  Banana
echo "<br><br>";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($input)) {
echo "$key -> $val <br>";
}

echo current($input);
