# The IteratorAggregate interface

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

## Introduction

Interface to create an external Iterator.

## Interface synopsis

interface IteratorAggregate extends Traversable {
/* Methods */
public getIterator(): Traversable
}

## Examples

Example #1 Basic usage

`<?php
class myData implements IteratorAggregate
{
public $property1 = "Public property one";
public $property2 = "Public property two";
public $property3 = "Public property three";
public $property4 = "";
public function __construct()
{
$this->property4 = "last property";
}
public function getIterator(): Traversable
{
return new ArrayIterator($this);
}
}
$obj = new myData();
foreach ($obj as $key => $value) {
var_dump($key, $value);
echo "\n";
}
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    string(9) "property1"
    string(19) "Public property one"

    string(9) "property2"
    string(19) "Public property two"

    string(9) "property3"
    string(21) "Public property three"

    string(9) "property4"
    string(13) "last property"
