Foreach

Orc · 03-19-2008, 04:54 AM

Just another method I guess :P

PHP Code:


			
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$_GET = array();

$_GET['a'] = "Hello World!";

if ($_GET['a'])
{
    extract($_GET);
    $t [] = $a;
    foreach(array_keys($t) As $val)
    {
        echo $t[$val];
    }
}
?>

Instead of $key => $val xD

This can be simplified but I was just having fun. :]

...Or you can do:

php Code:

$aItems = array
(
    'Wildhoney' => 'Adam',
    'Salathe' => 'Peter',
    'Bluesaga' => 'Will'
);

while(list($szKey, $szValue) = each($aItems))
{
    printf('Key = "%s" and Value = "%s"<br />', $szKey, $szValue);
}

Anyone care to benchmark? I'm almost sure the foreach is faster but it's nice to know none-the-less. (I'd do it but I'm shamlessly browsing whilst I'm supposed to be working)

Erm.. Mine is only

PHP Code:


			


foreach(array_keys($array) As $key)

{

   echo $array[$key];

}

You're just making it complicated xD

It'll be the $key => $value way by a long way, in terms of speed. We're just being silly

lol alright.

PHP Code:


			


foreach ($array As $key => $val)

{

   // Wildhoney >:o

   printf('%s => %s',$key,$val);

}

Actually, there is a faster way for doing a foreach with key and value:

PHP Code:


			
$key = array_keys($aHash);
$size = count($key);
for ($i=0; $i<$size; $i++) $aHash[$key[$i]] .= "a";

I can never tell why there is a 'faster' way of doing anything in php, I mean.. The page renders fast for me, and it does so every time I refresh the browser, so meh, fast?

Readability/Organisation > Speed.

What about array_walk()?

freenity · 03-20-2008, 10:58 PM

Not sure what are you doing here. Why don't you like foreach ?? :S

Well, if you want some weird stuff:

PHP Code:


			
$ar = array();
$num = 0;

go();

function go()
{
    echo $ar[$num];
    $num ++;
    if ($num < count($ar))
        go();
}

lol :)

Orc · 03-20-2008, 10:59 PM

PHP Code:


			
$ar = array();

$num = 0;



go();



function go()

{

    echo $ar[$num];

    ++ $num;

    if ($num < count($ar))

        go();

}

Figure out what I changed xD

It would give the same result.... (++$num)

Of course I forgot to put global $num, $ar....

Of course but Im just bored :P

How about it in a for loop?

php Code:

for
(
    $iIndex = 0, $aValue = $aItems, $aKey = array_flip($aItems);
    $iIndex < count($aItems);
    next($aValue), next($aKey), $iIndex++
) printf('Key = "%s" and Value = "%s"<br />', current($aKey), current($aValue));

Damn, you guys got too much spare time.

Hi, Thanks for the benchmarks
