Req #73001 [Opn->Csd]: Backport PHP7 array_column object traversal

Consider to use wrappers instead. Something like: <?php function my_array_column(…) { if (function_exists('array_column') && version_compare(phpversion(), '7.0.0', '>')) { return array_colum(…); } else { // fallback code } } For efficiency, the conditional could be put outside of the function definition. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-09-02 08:16:32] 131 dot php at cloudyks dot org Description: ------------ Lot of my code will break due to PHP 5.5-5.6 array_column current behavior. This has been fixed in 7.0.0 "Added the ability for the input parameter to be an array of objects. ". Is there some way for php 5.6 to backport this behavior ? (as the function is defined, it does not allow my code to override it anymore, as in php <= 5.4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73001&edit=1
