note 48561 added to control-structures.foreach

One of the bits of code I find myself using over and over and over is something like this: if (is_array($array)){ foreach ($array as $index => $value){ // do stuff } } else { // do other stuff because it isn't an array } I use this a lot when I write a class to handle arrays and/or variables. If there is a simpler solution I would like to know what it is. If not, I have a suggestion the awesome php dev team might be interested in: foreach ($array as $index => $value){ // do stuff } else { // do other stuff because it isn't an array } How I envision this working is that the else statement runs if $array isn't really an array, but without the else statement you would get the same error you do now. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48561 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48561&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48561&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48561&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48561&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48561&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48561&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48561&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
