HomeBackend DevelopmentPHP Tutorial当我们使用foreach时,内部究竟发生了什么(PHP5)?

以下所有结论均基于PHP5版本

看下面一段最基础的foreach遍历数组代码。

<?php $arr = array(‘a’,’b’,’c’);foreach ($arr as $key=> $value) {    echo $key,$value,’<br/>’; //output :  0a1b2c}?> 

输出为’0a1b2c’自然没有疑问,那么此过程中$arr,$key,$value究竟是经过怎样的运算,才输出这个结果的呢?

其实foreach遍历过程中,并不是直接操作$arr(原数组)的,而是会将$arr复制出一个$arrcopy(是一个$arr的一个复制品,我这里以$arrcopy代替),foreach在遍历过程中操作的其实一直是$arrcopy。

注:关于$arrcopy这个值我们是没办法提取出来的,因为这是我给他的命名,并没有存在这个变量,但是foreach遍历过程中确实会产生这么一个副本,这儿为了方便讲述我用$arrCopy代表。

Foreach遍历大概的流程是这样(伪代码):

<?php //伪代码$arr = array('a','b','c');/* foreach循环开始*///first loop$arrCopy = $arr; //复制出一个待循环数组的副本,接下来都是操作这个副本$key = currentKey($arrCopy); //将获取到的值分配给$k;$val = currentVal($arrCopy); //将获取到的值分配给$v;next($arrCopy);//移动副本数组的指针$arr = $arrCopy;//将副本赋值回给$arr((主要是将指针同步移动))//大括号内容{    echo $key,$value,’<br/>’;}//firt loop end//second loop $key = currentKey($arrCopy); //将获取到的值分配给$k;$val = currentVal($arrCopy); //将获取到的值分配给$v;………//seconde loop end?>

这就是foreach代码的运行流程,总结一句话就是foreach遍历操作的时候并不是原始数组,而是一个拷贝数组,但是每次循环的结尾都会将副本重新赋值回给原数组$arr = $arrCopy;。

如何证明我的说法呢?可以用下面这段代码检验。

<?php // $a = array('a','b','c'); $arr = array('a','b','c');foreach ($arr as $key=> $value) {    $arr[] = 'd';    print_r($arr);    var_dump($key,$value);}?>

输出结果为:

//output:Array    (    [0] => a    [1] => b    [2] => c    [3] => d    )    int(0)    string(1) "a"    Array    (    [0] => a    [1] => b    [2] => c    [3] => d    [4] => d    )    int(1)    string(1) "b"    Array    (    [0] => a    [1] => b    [2] => c    [3] => d    [4] => d    [5] => d    )    int(2)    string(1) "c"

同学们看出来了吗?

$arr数组的键值对一直在在增加,可是$key,$value的值到了int(2),string(1) “c”就结束了,并没有如我们所料的将值为d的那些键值对打印出来。

这儿就能证明,foreach遍历过程操作的是$arr的副本($arrcopy)。

对了,foreach使用过程中还有一些小地方需要注意。例如foreach遍历数组的指针问题:

 <?php $arr = array('a','b','c');var_dump(current($arr)); //output:string(1) "a"foreach ($arr as $key=> $value) {}var_dump(current($arr)); //output:bool(false)?>

两次输出,不一样的结果。为什么呢?因为foreach循环遍历后的数组,该数组的指针是指向末尾的(此处的话指针就是在’c’的右边),并且使用完毕后不会帮我们复位,所以我们var_dump(current($arr))为 bool(false)。那么在这里我们需要特别注意,为了保险起见我们在foreach遍历数组后,最好手动reset()一下数组,防止出错:

<?php $arr = array('a','b','c');var_dump(current($arr)); //output:string(1) "a"foreach ($arr as $key=> $value) {}reset($arr);var_dump(current($arr)); / output:string(1) "a"?>

这样就正常了。

还有一点PHP手册也提醒我们了:

转成代码的意思就是:

<?php $arr = array('a','b','c');foreach ($arr as $key=> $value) {}var_dump($key);var_dump($value);?>

Foreach遍历后,$key和$value是真实存在的,最好使用后能手动unset()掉。

总结:foreach算是PHP里面比较复杂的一个函数了,因为牵扯到PHP底层的C语言的结构体,引用(is_ref__gc),指针移动……,所以在使用foreach的时候一定要特别注意啊!
