array_slice

The What

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

This construct, array_slice, extracts a range of elements out of the target array based upon the parameters that you give it.

target_array: The array from which to remove the range of elements.
offset: Specifies the element index (by the array pointer) where to start the slice If the offset is negative, it starts at the element from the end of the array; else the offset starts from index zero to where it is specified.
length: optional Specify how many elements you want.
preserve_keys: optional When set to TRUE, the array’s keys will be preserved; else, the keys will be reindexed and re-ordered.

Returns a new array with the range of elements you specified.

Your functions are bloated. Put them on a diet. Think "skinny" and "as few lines as possible."
