#2784 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Make all foreach() loops cast to array

Reported by: markjaquith's profile markjaquith Owned by: jacobsantos's profile jacobsantos

Description

Every so often, we get bitten by a random foreach() error due to the input not being an array.

The elegant solution is this:

foreach ( (array) $maybe_array as $foo ) :

The attached patch is just the result of a giant regular expressions find/replace:

search: foreach( *)\(( *)\$
replace: foreach$1( (array) $

this is more proof of concept than anything else. I'm not getting any errors after applying it. I'd love to banish foreach errors once and for all.

The _real_ solution is for PHP to change their crappy foreach semantics :) But yeah, nice.

  • Component changed from Administration to Optimization
  • Milestone set to 2.1
  • Owner changed from anonymous to markjaquith
  • Status changed from new to assigned

Because there is a good chance this will rot many existing patches, let's wait on this until right before we release a 2.1 beta zip.

  • Keywords needs-patch added; has-patch removed
  • Milestone changed from 2.2 to 2.3

Likely needs refresh

#7 @Nazgul

  • Milestone changed from 2.3 to 2.4 (next)

A candidate for doing very early in the 2.4 cycle.

#9 @darkdragon

I don't think bug rot will be an issue for this, since the phpdoc has done that already. Will submit updated patch.

#10 @darkdragon
17 years ago

Patch contains items which would corrupt trunk, please do not commit. Will fix issues and resubmit.

Updated patch fixes four spaces to tabs issue, however patch does not display in Trac, so I'm worried it won't patch for committing.

Replying to darkdragon:

however patch does not display in Trac, so I'm worried it won't patch for committing.

I've found that you need to save as a .diff instead of a .patch.
Simply renaming a .patch to .diff doesnt work either.

Is this ticket being completely ignored or is there hope that one of the patches will be applied?

#14 @darkdragon
17 years ago

If there is something that is missing then let me know and I'll add it.

#15 @darkdragon
17 years ago

What is up with this? Is this ticket defunct? Close it as won't fix if nothing is going to be done.

#16 @santosj

Time to update patch. Hopefully, if I'm going to spend another hour on this it will get through faster, than the last time.

#18 @santosj

Patch made, will upload in 1 hour.

type casting for foreach in wp-includes.

It is discomforting when the diff does not display.

It is discomforting when the diff does not display.

Try removing the extra blank line at the end of the file, I've found that causes it sometimes.. It is anoying though, I wish i could work out what causes it sometimes.

Well, hopefully one of those works.

#23 @jacobsantos

The only problem I suppose is that this doesn't check wp-admin, which will need to be for this ticket to be closed.

#24 @santosj

  • Keywords dev-feedback added

I would rather this not go another 3 months without being looked at.

#25 @santosj

Suggest closing as wontfix if not going to commit.

#26 @markjaquith

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed
