HI there,

Is there any PHP native function which returns the range of records from the array based on the start and end of the index?

i.e.:

array(0 => 'a', 1 => 'b', 2 => 'c', 3 => 'd');

and now I would like to only return records between index 1 and 3 (b, c, d).

Any idea?

Couldn't you do that with e.g. array_slice?

$a = array(0 => 'a', 1 => 'b', 2 => 'c', 3 => 'd');
array_slice($a, 1, 3);

I think you're looking for array_slice.

there is a task for array_slice

array array_slice ( array $array , int $offset [, int $length [, bool $preserve_keys = false ]] )

example:

$input = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");

$output = array_slice($input, 2);      // returns "c", "d", and "e"
$output = array_slice($input, -2, 1);  // returns "d"
$output = array_slice($input, 0, 3);   // returns "a", "b", and "c"

// note the differences in the array keys
print_r(array_slice($input, 2, -1));
print_r(array_slice($input, 2, -1, true));
