iterator_apply

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

iterator_apply — Call a function for every element in an iterator

Description

iterator_apply(Traversable $iterator, callable $callback, ?array $args = null): int

Calls a function for every element in an iterator.

Parameters

iterator

The iterator object to iterate over.

callback

The callback function to call on every element. This function only receives the given args, so it is nullary by default. If count($args) === 3, for instance, the callback function is ternary.

Note: The function must return true in order to continue iterating over the iterator.

args

An array of arguments; each element of args is passed to the callback callback as separate argument.

Return Values

Returns the iteration count.

Examples

Example #1 iterator_apply() example

<?php
function print_caps(Iterator $iterator) {
    echo strtoupper($iterator->current()) . "\n";
    return TRUE;
}

$it = new ArrayIterator(array("Apples", "Bananas", "Cherries"));
iterator_apply($it, "print_caps", array($it));
?>

The above example will output:

APPLES
BANANAS
CHERRIES

Each of the arguments required by the function, must be in the array supplied in the third argument to iterator_apply. You can use references too. Example:

<?php

function translate_to(string $target_language, Iterator $words, array $dictionaries) {
    
    $language = ucfirst($target_language);
    $dictionary = $dictionaries[$target_language] ?? 'not found';
    
    if ($dictionary === 'not found') {
        echo "Not found dictionary for {$language}\n";
        return;
    }
    
    echo "English words translated to {$language}\n";
    
    $not_found = [];
    
    iterator_apply($words, function($words, $dictionary, &$not_found){
    
        $english_word = $words->current();
    
        $translated_word = $dictionary[$english_word] ?? '';
    
        if ($translated_word !== '') {
            echo "{$english_word} translates to {$translated_word}\n";
        } else {
            $not_found[] = $english_word;
        }

        return true;
    
    }, array($words, $dictionary, &$not_found));
    
    echo "\nNot found words:\n" . implode("\n", $not_found) . "\n";
}

$dictionaries = [
    'nahuatl' => [
        'one' => 'Ze',
        'two' => 'Ome',
        'three' => 'Yei',
        'four' => 'Nahui',
    ],
];

$iterator = new \ArrayIterator(array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'gasoil'));

translate_to('nahuatl', $iterator, $dictionaries);
?>

English words translated to Nahuatl
one translates to Ze
two translates to Ome
three translates to Yei
four translates to Nahui

Not found words:
gasoil
