This is probably a strange feature request, but I think it should be
given a lot of thought, if it has not done so already.
The request is this:
strings should be treated as arrays of characters (which they are) when
given as the arguement for functions which work on arrays.
so for example:
function foo ($chr) {
echo $chr . "<br />\n";
}
$string = "bar";
array_walk($string,foo); would give the result:
b
a
r
Also, to be able to do this with strings:
$string = "fo";
$string{} = "o";
so that
$string == "foo" == TRUE
Also, another thing that comes up often, is when trying to do this:
$string = "foo";
foreach ($string as $i) {
echo $string ."<br />\n";
}
does not work, and you have to do:
$string = "foo";
for($i = 0;$i <= strlen($string);$i++) {
echo $string{$i} ."<br />\n";
}
like I said, give this some thought, perhaps toss it around on php-dev
etc..
