## #54952 — Aaron Gray — 2011-08-25T21:39:24+00:00

Hi,

I am working on a C extension module for PHP and am wondering about an API 
issue.

I can see how to add to an associative array :-

    zval *aa;
    MAKE_STD_ZVAL(aa);
    array_init(aa);

    add_assoc_string(aa, "test", "test value", 1);

but how do I transverse an associative array of values in a for loop simular 
to using "foreach" in PHP ?

Hope this is not too OT for this list, but I could not find a better place 
to ask the question.

I have looked through the API SVN sources and this seems like a possible 
blind spot.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
