ArrayIterator is only used for interating simple arrays of which the value part is not another array. You can test it with a more complex array like this: $arr = array ( \\\'Section 1\\\' => array ( \\\'Cat 1\\\' => array ( 1 => array ( 1 => \\\'So 1\\\', 2=> \\\'So 2\\\' ), 2 => \\\'So 2\\\' ), \\\'Cat 2\\\' => array ( \\\'Sub-cat 1\\\' => array ( 1 => \\\'So 1\\\', 2=> \\\'So 2\\\' ), \\\'Sub-cat 2\\\' => \\\'So 2\\\' ) ), \\\'Section 2\\\' => array ( \\\'Cat 1\\\' => array ( ), \\\'Cat 2\\\' => array ( \\\'Sub-cat 1\\\' => array ( 1 => \\\'So 1\\\', 2=> \\\'So 2\\\' ), \\\'Sub-cat 2\\\' => \\\'So 2\\\' ) ) ); $arrayobject = new ArrayObject($arr); for($iterator = $arrayobject->getIterator(); $iterator->valid(); $iterator->next()) { echo $iterator->key() . \\\' => \\\' . $iterator->current() . \\\"<br />\\\"; } The above scriptlet will return Section 1 => Array Section 2 => Array because it can not recursively iterate throught the array. Do the following instead (in PHP5.1): $arrayIterator = new RecursiveArrayIterator($arr); $iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($arrayIterator); foreach ($iterator as $val) { echo $val.\\\'<br/>\\\'; } ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 69.61.55.154 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.3 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.arrayiterator-current.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63336 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63336/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63336/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63336/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63336/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63336/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63336/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63336 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63336 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
