PHP 4.0 Bug #3462: foreach behavior on a non-array

From: leon@leonatkinson.com Operating system: all PHP version: 4.0 Beta 3 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: foreach behavior on a non-array Given the following code: unset($list); foreach($list as $value) { print($value); } and $list is FALSE, PHP is generating an error like "Non array argument supplied for foreach()". The variable probably should be promoted to being an empty array, but I can deal with casting it myself. Unfortunately, when I do this: unset($list); foreach((array)$list as $value) { print($value); } it runs through the loop once. I know I can get around this using a while loop, but I'd prefer to use foreach. If anyone's wondering why the hell I'm looping over an unset variable, I have a caching function that returns the contents of a database table. When there are no rows, it returns the unset static variable.
