The Traversable interface

(No version information available, might only be in SVN)

Introducere

Interface to detect if a class is traversable using foreach.

Abstract base interface that cannot be implemented alone. Instead it must be implemented by either IteratorAggregate or Iterator.

Notă:

Internal (built-in) classes that implement this interface can be used in a foreach construct and do not need to implement IteratorAggregate or Iterator.

Notă:

This is an internal engine interface which cannot be implemented in PHP scripts. Either IteratorAggregate or Iterator must be used instead.

Descrierea succintă a interfeței

Traversable {
}

This interface has no methods, its only purpose is to be the base interface for all traversable classes.

While you cannot implement this interface, you can use it in your checks to determine if something is usable in for each. Here is what I use if I'm expecting something that must be iterable via foreach.

<?php
   
if( !is_array( $items ) && !$items instanceof Traversable )
       
//Throw exception here
?>
