The array_reverse Function

The array_reverse function reverses an array in reverse order. The first parameter is the array, and the second is whether to preserve keys when rearranging elements or not (true - yes, false - no). The second parameter is optional. In this case, by default the second parameter is false. String keys are always preserved, regardless of the value of this parameter.

Syntax

array_reverse(array $array, bool $preserve_keys = false): array

Example

Let's reverse an array:

<?php $arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']; $res = array_reverse($arr); var_dump($res); ?>

Code execution result:

['e', 'd', 'c', 'b', 'a']

Example

Let's reverse an associative array:

<?php $arr = ['a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3]; $res = array_reverse($arr); var_dump($res); ?>

Code execution result:

['c' => 3, 'b' => 2, 'a' => 1]
