The ArrayIterator class
(PHP 5)
Introduction
This iterator allows to unset and modify values and keys while iterating over Arrays and Objects.
When you want to iterate over the same array multiple times you need to instantiate ArrayObject and let it create ArrayIterator instances that refer to it either by using foreach or by calling its getIterator() method manually.

Another fine Iterator from php . You can use it especially when you have to iterate over objects
<?php
$fruits = array(
"apple" => "yummy",
"orange" => "ah ya, nice",
"grape" => "wow, I love it!",
"plum" => "nah, not me"
);
$obj = new ArrayObject( $fruits );
$it = $obj->getIterator();
// How many items are we iterating over?
echo "Iterating over: " . $obj->count() . " values\n";
// Iterate over the values in the ArrayObject:
while( $it->valid() )
{
echo $it->key() . "=" . $it->current() . "\n";
$it->next();
}
// The good thing here is that it can be iterated with foreach loop
foreach ($it as $key=>$val)
echo $key.":".$val."\n";
/* Outputs something like */
Iterating over: 4 values
apple=yummy
orange=ah ya, nice
grape=wow, I love it!
plum=nah, not me
?>
Regards.
and to iterate recursively use the (sparsely documented) RecursiveArrayIterator
<?php
$fruits = array(
"apple" => "yummy",
"orange" => "ah ya, nice",
"grape" => "wow, I love it!",
"plum" => "nah, not me"
);
$veg = array("potato" => "chips", "carrot" => "soup");
$grocery = array($fruits, $veg);
$obj = new ArrayObject( $grocery );
$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator( new RecursiveArrayIterator($grocery));
foreach ($it as $key=>$val)
echo $key.":".$val."\n";
?>
Output
--------
apple:yummy
orange:ah ya, nice
grape:wow, I love it!
plum:nah, not me
potato:chips
carrot:soup
Need a callback on an iterated value, but don't have PHP 5.4+? This makes is stupid easy:
<?php
class ArrayCallbackIterator extends ArrayIterator {
private $callback;
public function __construct($value, $callback) {
parent::__construct($value);
$this->callback = $callback;
}
public function current() {
$value = parent::current();
return call_user_func($this->callback, $value);
}
}
?>
You can use it pretty much exactly as the Array Iterator:
<?php
$iterator1 = new ArrayCallbackIterator($valueList, "callback_function");
$iterator2 = new ArrayCallbackIterator($valueList, array($object, "callback_class_method"));
?>
The documentation states "This iterator allows to unset and modify values and keys while iterating over Arrays and Objects". But if you pass an array to the constructor, the iterator works with a copy of that array, so the modifications will not be written back to that initial array. ArrayObject behaves the same way.
If you want an iterator that writes back to the array, you can use this function:
<?php
function &getArrayIterator(array &$a): Iterator {
foreach ($a as $k => &$v) {
yield $k => $v;
}
}
?>
Usage:
<?php
$array = [1 => 'a', 2 => 'b'];
$iterator = getArrayIterator($array);
foreach ($iterator as &$value) {
$value .= 'x';
}
//array(2) {
// [1]=>
// string(2) "ax"
// [2]=>
// &string(2) "bx"
//}
//object(Generator)#4 (0) {
//}
var_dump($array);
var_dump($iterator);
?>
Comparison with plain array, ArrayIterator and ArrayObject:
<?php
$array1 = [1 => 'a', 2 => 'b'];
$array2 = [1 => 'a', 2 => 'b'];
$array3 = [1 => 'a', 2 => 'b'];
foreach ($array1 as &$value) {
$value .= 'x';
}
$iterator2 = new ArrayIterator($array2);
foreach ($iterator2 as &$value) {
$value .= 'x';
}
$iterator3 = new ArrayObject($array3);
foreach ($iterator3 as &$value) {
$value .= 'x';
}
//array(2) {
// [1]=>
// string(2) "ax"
// [2]=>
// string(2) "bx"
//}
var_dump($array1);
//array(2) {
// [1]=>
// string(1) "a"
// [2]=>
// string(1) "b"
//}
//object(ArrayIterator)#1 (1) {
// ["storage":"ArrayIterator":private]=>
// array(2) {
// [1]=>
// string(2) "ax"
// [2]=>
// string(2) "bx"
// }
//}
var_dump($array2);
var_dump($iterator2);
//array(2) {
// [1]=>
// string(1) "a"
// [2]=>
// string(1) "b"
//}
//object(ArrayObject)#2 (1) {
// ["storage":"ArrayObject":private]=>
// array(2) {
// [1]=>
// string(2) "ax"
// [2]=>
// string(2) "bx"
// }
//}
var_dump($array3);
var_dump($iterator3);
?>
