Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-07-22 08:41:51] mark at manngo dot net I’d be more than happy to write something and submit that. Ditto for the if page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-07-22 08:30:15] cmb@php.net Indeed, the alternative syntax is mentionend on the while, for, and switch pages (apparently not on the if page), so might make sense to add this info on the foreach page as well. I don't have a strong feeling about either way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-07-22 08:17:08] mark at manngo dot net Possibly, but since the pages on while, for, if and switch all mention the alternative syntax, this looks like an omission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-07-22 07:28:44] cmb@php.net There is a dedicated page for the alternative syntax of control structures[1], and in my opinion, this is better than to mention that again on all the other pages. [1] <https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-07-22 07:19:33] mark at manngo dot net Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/control-structures.foreach --- Apart from a helpful comment, there is no mention of the alternate syntax for foreach. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79883&edit=1
