ParentIterator::rewind
Using the RecursiveArrayIterator to traverse an unknown amount of sub arrays within the outer array. Note: This functionality is already provided by using the RecursiveIteratorIterator but is useful in understanding how to use the iterator when using for the first time as all the terminology does get rather confusing at first sight of SPL!
<?php
$myArray = array(
0 => 'a',
1 => array('subA','subB',array(0 => 'subsubA', 1 => 'subsubB', 2 => array(0 => 'deepA', 1 => 'deepB'))),
2 => 'b',
3 => array('subA','subB','subC'),
4 => 'c'
);
$iterator = new RecursiveArrayIterator($myArray);
iterator_apply($iterator, 'traverseStructure', array($iterator));
function traverseStructure($iterator) {
while ( $iterator -> valid() ) {
if ( $iterator -> hasChildren() ) {
traverseStructure($iterator -> getChildren());
}
else {
echo $iterator -> key() . ' : ' . $iterator -> current() .PHP_EOL;
}
$iterator -> next();
}
}
?>
The output from which is:
0 : a
0 : subA
1 : subB
0 : subsubA
1 : subsubB
0 : deepA
1 : deepB
2 : b
0 : subA
1 : subB
2 : subC
4 : c
The RecursiveArrayIterator class
Introducción
This iterator allows to unset and modify values and keys while iterating over Arrays and Objects in the same way as the ArrayIterator. Additionally it is possible to iterate over the current iterator entry.
