ID: 10203 Updated by: yohgaki Reported By: jack@mobil.cz Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: foreach ($arr as $key => $val) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-11 11:17:31] jack@mobil.cz sure, I know I could use this way but I don't find it nice at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-06 14:42:55] torben@php.net It's for someone else to decide whether to add this to the language, but until they do you can achieve the same effect with: $arr = array(array(1, 2), array(3, 4)); foreach ($arr as $narr) { list($a, $b) = array_values($narr); echo "$a, $b\n"; } BTW--it would have helped if you had explained what results you were after and not just the syntax you wanted. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-06 07:54:29] jack@mobil.cz no, 'list' should assign an array to a list of variables. $arr = array(array(1, 2), array(3, 4)); foreach ($arr as list($a, $b)) echo "$a $b\n"; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-06 07:19:30] hholzgra@php.net and what should it do? i guess you want to have key and value in one step? this is done by the foreach($array as $key => $value) construct, does that satisfy your needs? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-06 06:53:12] jack@mobil.cz hello foreach ($array as list($a, $b)) ; won't work. is there any hope this will change in future? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=10203&edit=1
