Req #72548 [NEW]: Limit for number of lines in foreach loop

From: nanovim at gmail dot com Operating system: Any PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Limit for number of lines in foreach loop Description: ------------ I would suggest that the php interpreter/compiler would have an option to set a maximal number of lines for a foreach loop. We PHP Programmers love the foreach loops and they are quite usefully, but it seems this love seems often unconditional and often projects have foreach loops with hundred lines of code. This foreach loops might even complex if/then/else constructs, which may have itself foreach loops. I think we should give the project maintainer an option to limit the number of lines of code of the foreach loops of a project. Let's say an option in the php.ini like: foreach-limit: -1 which can be set to any Integer and -1 indicating no limit at all. Test script: --------------- foreach($arrray as $line)[ //200 lines and a limit of 50 } Expected result: ---------------- Parser error: limit of lines succeeded Actual result: -------------- it compiles -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72548&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72548&r=mysqlcfg
