[PHP-DEV] Bug #870: A new language construct From: zmievski <email protected>
Date: 10/22/98

From: zmievski <email protected>
Operating system: Solaris 2.6
PHP version: 3.0.5
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: A new language construct

Suggestion:

A construct that will iterate through several arrays at once, making current values for each one available inside the loop.

Example:

$ProjectID = array("ID001", "ID002", "ID003");
$ProjectName = array("Name1", "Name2", "Name3");
$ProjectManager = array("joe", "bob", "ted");

loop($ProjectID, $ProjectName, $ProjectManager)
{
    echo "$ProjectName ($ProjectID) - $ProjectManager<br>\n";
}

This will print out:

Name1 (ID001) - joe
Name2 (ID002) - bob
Name2 (ID003) - ted

This could be extended to allow skip and max values, similar to LIMIT in MySQL.

loop(skip=1, max=2; $ProjectID, $ProjectName, $ProjectManager)'
{
   ....
}
