# array_pop

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

array_pop -- Pop the element off the end of array

## Description

``mixed array_pop` (array array)`

array_pop() pops and returns the last value of the `array`, shortening the `array` by one element. If `array` is empty (or is not an array), `NULL` will be returned.

Example 1. array_pop() example
    $stack = array ("orange", "apple", "raspberry");
    $fruit = array_pop ($stack);

After this, `$stack` has only 2 elements: "orange" and "apple", and `$fruit` has "raspberry".
