Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78274&edit=1 ID: 78274 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: Wes dot nospam at example dot org Summary: iterator_to_array($array) should return the $array Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: FWIW, there has been an RFC proposing iterable_to_array()[1], which has been declined. [1] <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/iterable_to_array-and-iterable_count> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-07-11 07:32:24] daverandom@php.net Worth noting that the function is named *iterator*_to_array(), not *iterable*_to_array(). I'm not necessarily against extending the functionality like this, but in that case for consistency I would rather rename this function iterable_to_array() and retain iterator_to_array() as an alias. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-07-11 06:51:13] Wes dot nospam at example dot org Description: ------------ Argument 1 passed to iterator_to_array() must implement interface Traversable, array given. Would be great to improve the behavior, possibly as follows: iterator_to_array($array, TRUE); must return the array as is, iterator_to_array($array, FALSE); must return array_values($array) Thank you in advance ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78274&edit=1
