PHP 5 provides a way for objects to be defined so it is possible to iterate
through a list of items, with, for example a foreach statement. By default,
all visible properties will be used
for the iteration.

<?php class MyClass { public $var1 = 'value 1'; public $var2 = 'value 2'; public $var3 = 'value 3';
MyClass::iterateVisible: var1 => value 1 var2 => value 2 var3 => value 3 protected => protected var private => private var
As the output shows, the foreach iterated through all
visible variables that can be
accessed. To take it a step further you can implement one
of PHP 5's internal interface named
Iterator. This allows the object to decide what and how
the object will be iterated.

<?php class MyIterator implements Iterator { private $var = array();
public function __construct($array) { if (is_array($array)) { $this->var = $array; } }
public function rewind() { echo "rewinding\n"; reset($this->var); }
public function current() { $var = current($this->var); echo "current: $var\n"; return $var; }
public function key() { $var = key($this->var); echo "key: $var\n"; return $var; }
public function next() { $var = next($this->var); echo "next: $var\n"; return $var; }
public function valid() { $var = $this->current() !== false; echo "valid: {$var}\n"; return $var; } }
$values = array(1,2,3); $it = new MyIterator($values);
You can also define your class so that it doesn't have to define
all the Iterator functions by simply implementing
the PHP 5 IteratorAggregate interface.
