Hello,
I wanted to garnish feedback on a RFC proposal. This is just a concept at
this point, and is inspired by the null coalesce operator.
Code will error if a non-array value is passed through a looping feature.
For example, this code:
<?php
$foo = "abc";
foreach ($foo as $bar) {
echo $bar;
}
will result in the error:
PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in test.php on line 3
To prevent this, the logical solution is to wrap this in an is_array check:
<?php
$foo = "abc";
if (is_array($foo)) {
foreach ($foo as $bar) {
echo $bar;
}
}
This code runs successfully and does not error out. For a syntactic
sugar/improvement, this can be shorthand for executing the loop instead of
wrapping the block within an is_array check:
<?php
$foo = "abc";
foreach (??$foo as $bar) {
echo $bar;
}
Let me know your thoughts.
Cheers,
Mark
