#9441 [Com]: New feature for foreach control structure

ID: 9441 Comment by: parham_m_s@hotmail.com Reported By: php@leon.brooks.fdns.net Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: (all, using) Linux 2.2.18 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: i recently converted from perl to php and this was the first thing i realized. The foreach construct should be implemented into files because it's just eyepleasing (and easier) for some people. The same idea should also be applied to opendir (or even dumping an entire directory tree into an array).
