The question is simple. I have a foreach
loop in my code:
foreach($array as $element) {
//code
}
In this loop, I want to react differently when we are in first or last iteration.
How to do this?

If you prefer a solution that does not require the initialization of the counter outside the loop, then you can compare the current iteration key against the function that tells you the last / first key of the array.
foreach ($array as $key => $element) {
if ($key === array_key_first($array)) {
echo 'FIRST ELEMENT!';
}
if ($key === array_key_last($array)) {
echo 'LAST ELEMENT!';
}
}
foreach ($array as $key => $element) {
reset($array);
if ($key === key($array)) {
echo 'FIRST ELEMENT!';
}
end($array);
if ($key === key($array)) {
echo 'LAST ELEMENT!';
}
}
