ID: 46240 Comment by: ptmcnally at gmail dot com Reported By: kjarli at gmail dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: I agree, this would be a nice addition to PHP6. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-07 01:13:01] john at brahy dot com Please add a foreach else. It would save so much programming time and eliminate so much room for error. It's so simple... foreach (){} else {} PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-06 08:57:14] kjarli at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Each time you want to foreach an array, you first have to check with a count or empty if you want to give a message or w/e to notify there is no entry to an array (or object if implements like iterator). If possible add a else option to foreach. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php // old style if(count($myArray) > 0) { foreach($myArray as $key => $value) { } } //new style foreach($myArray as $key => $value) { } else { // empty array/object } (kinda like how smarty implements it) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46240&edit=1
