I am working on a web app that involves collecting data in arrays. Now I need to split the arrays in such a way that a variable holds the last array element of the array, while another holds the rest, so I run some database queries on it.
Please guys, any idea on how to go about it?

CRAZYMADMAN:


PHP

<?php
$myArray = array('red','yellow','green','blue');
$array_len = count ( $myArray );

$last_element = $myArray[ $array_len - 1];
unset( $myArray[ $array_len - 1] ) ;

// $myArray no longer holds blue

thanks a lot for the help, but however I still need the last element because of the nature of the database query I need to run on the arrays
