The inconsistency with PDO seems weird too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-03-08 15:26:25] requinix@php.net Making the iterator return a different kind of array would be a breaking change for code that thinks the array is purely associative. Is it really such a problem to destructure with keys? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-03-08 14:14:56] olafvdspek at gmail dot com I know.. hence my feature request (to support destructuring without keys). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-03-08 13:43:57] requinix@php.net As you can see, the value given through the iterator is an array that contains only associative string keys, not also numeric keys. It can be destructured - if you specify the keys. ...as ["uid" => $uid, "name" => $name] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
