ID: 63317 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: evertvandansen at ymail dot com Summary: Add alternate, more logical foreach syntax -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5.4.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Don't think this will happen as it doesn't have any (quantifiable) advantages over the current syntax but would a) introduce two ways to do the same thing and b) add a new keyword that is very likely be currently in use. Marking Won't Fix. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-10-20 11:19:51] evertvandansen at ymail dot com Description: ------------ This is a very low priority request for adding an alternate foreach syntax. Right now we write something like: foreach ($cats as $cat) Which is fine, but neither semantically nor grammatically correct. I would propose that foreach ($cat in $cats) or foreach ($cat from $cats) makes much more sense and is more readable. Not just from a grammatical point of view, but also because that way the actual identifier you use in the iteration is placed first. The existing syntax should obviously remain, it is simply an alternate syntax, not meant to substitute. Again, it is not a very important request as it does not improve PHP technically, only in regards to readability and (for some) usability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63317&edit=1
