note 106503 added to class.seekableiterator

Best method: <?php if ($object instanceof SeekableIterator) { echo "\$object has method seek()"; } ?> Please, make use of checking if a particular interface has been implemented to assure that the object you are dealing with definately has the methods you are about to use. This also works as typehinting: <?php class foo { public function doSomeSeeking(SeekableIterator $seekMe) { $seekMe->seek(10); // will work, otherwise Typehint triggers complaints } } ?> ---- Server IP: 217.160.235.204 Probable Submitter: 89.204.154.39 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.seekableiterator.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/106503 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106503/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106503/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106503/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106503/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106503/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106503/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106503 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/106503 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
