<title>Object Iteration</title>
<para>
.
PHP 5 provides a way for objects to to be defined so it is possible
to iterate through a list of items, with, for example a <xref
linkend="control-structures.foreach" /> statement. By default, all
public properties will be used for the iteration.
</para>
<example>
<title>Simple Object Iteration</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
class MyClass {
public $var1 = 'value 1';
public $var2 = 'value 2';
public $var3 = 'value 3';
protected $protected = 'protected';
private $private = 'private';
}
$class = new MyClass();
foreach($class as $key => $value) {
print "$key => $value\n";
}
]]>
</programlisting>
<para>
Will output:
</para>
<screen role="php">
<![CDATA[
var1 => value 1
var2 => value 2
var3 => value 3
]]>
</screen>
</example>
<para>
As the output shows, the <xref linkend="control-structures.foreach" />
iterated through each public variable that is defined. To take it
a step further you can <varname>implement</varname> one of PHP 5's
internal <xref linkend="language.oop5.interfaces" /> named
<varname>Iterator</varname>. This allows the object to decide what
and how the object will be iterated.
</para>
<example>

<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?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";

$it = new MyIterator($values);
foreach ($it as $a => $b) {
print "$a: $b\n";
}

You can also define your class so that it doesn't have to define
all the <varname>Iterator</varname> functions by simply implementing
the PHP 5 <varname>IteratorAggregate</varname> interface.
</para>
<example>
<title>Object Iteration implenting IteratorAggregate</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
class MyCollection implements IteratorAggregate {
private $items = array();
private $count = 0;
/* Required definition of interface IteratorAggregate */
public function getIterator() {
return new MyIterator($this->items);
}
public function add($value) {
$this->items[$this->count++] = $value;
}
}
$coll = new MyCollection();
$coll->add('value 1');
$coll->add('value 2');
$coll->add('value 3');
foreach ($coll as $key => $val) {
echo "key/value: [$key -> $val]\n\n";
}
?>
</pre>
