Introduction

These PHP 5.1 functions are to help handle Iterators.

There is no current information on the speed benchmarks of these functions compared to userland functions. These functions are C implementations, so one could assume they would be quicker.

Iterator Count

Counts the elements in any Iterator. Clones the Countable interface functionality for Iterators that don’t implement Countable.

$array = array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2');

echo iterator_count(new ArrayIterator($array));

Iterator To Array

Copies an Iterator to an array.

$array = array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2');

$newarray = iterator_to_array(new ArrayIterator($array));
