Example #1 RecursiveArrayIterator::hasChildren() example
<?php
$fruits = array("a" => "lemon", "b" => "orange", array("a" => "apple", "p" => "pear"));
$iterator = new RecursiveArrayIterator($fruits);
while ($iterator->valid()) {
// Check if there are children
if ($iterator->hasChildren()) {
// print all children
foreach ($iterator->getChildren() as $key => $value) {
echo $key . ' : ' . $value . "\n";
}
} else {
echo "No children.\n";
}
$iterator->next();
}
?>
The above example will output:
