ID: 5408 Updated by: sander Reported By: danbeck@dealnews.com Old Status: Open Status: Duplicate Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Redhat 6.1 (Linux 2.2.12-20) PHP Version: 4.0 Latest CVS (06/07/2000) New Comment: Dupe of 3462 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-07-06 17:35:42] danbeck@dealnews.com I feel foreach() should silently ingore any non-array variables passed to it, especially if this was modeled after the same Perl statement. At the very least, I would like to be able to use the @ notation in front of it so that the script won't die if it doesn't get it's array. Otherwise, I have to continually use is_array() before using foreach() just to make sure my script continues to live. Since PHP doesn't make you delcare or initialize variables, you can't always expect that the variables you give a statement or function will be what they are supposed to me. I know that I can just turn my error reporting down, but I do want to see other valid script and parse errors.
