ArrayObject iterator class requires a child of ArrayObject or ArrayIterator

<?php

class MyIterator implements Iterator {

    public
    function __construct(ArrayObject $array, $flags = 0) {
        // ...
    }

    public 
    function current() {
        // ..
    }

    public 
    function next() {
        // ..
    }

    public 
    function key() {
        // ..
    }

    public 
    function valid() {
        // ..
    }

    public 
    function rewind() {
        // ..
    }    
}

$obj = new ArrayObject(array(), 0, 'MyIterator');
$obj->getIterator();

?>
