Re: DB_DataObject - using foreach instead of while

There IS a way to do this, if you are using PHP 5. You can subclass your data object and implement the ArrayIterator interface, or you can create a separate object for your result set and implement the interface there. Objects that have implemented this interface are iterable via a foreach loop. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.iterations.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.spl.php -- Nick On Aug 21, 2006, at 2:32 PM, Justin Patrin wrote:

Hi there, The syntax examples for DB_DataObject show how to use a while loop with ->fetch() to iterate over records. Is there a way of doing this using a foreach loop instead? I'm trying to optimize speed here.

How would foreach be better than while? foreach uses a copy of an array to loop over it. No, there is, of course, no way to do this as ->fetch() gets one record at a time. --Justin Patrin --PEAR General Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
